It’s official. Steve Nash is a Los Angeles Laker. 
Although Nash was initially a free agent, a sign-and-trade took place so that the Lakers could afford the deal. In return the Suns will get first-round draft picks in 2013 and 2015 as well as second-round draft picks in 2013 and 2014.
Nash will allegedly receive 27 million over the next three years. Not too bad for the 37 year old.
So the question remains, what will Nash bring to the Los Angeles program?
Many are jumping to a ring, but I’m a little hesitant on agreeing with that ideal so soon. Yes, Nash is one of the best true point guards in the league, and teaming up with Kobe is a great combination, but I’m not sure the duo screams championship.
The only reason I see why people may think the Lakers will go far with the addition of Nash is because the Laker starting lineup looks like a Western All-Star line up, with Kobe, Gasol, Byum, Metta World Peace, and Nash rounding it out at the point. 
But can their second string of players back up these star players? That’s the underlying question. Right now it seems the front office over in L.A is not so much looking ahead, but more of immediate wins. 
 If the Lakers don’t pick up some better role players to come off the bench, a first ring for Nash, and a sixth for Kobe doesn’t look too promising, in my opinion.
