the trade in this post, but comparing Nash and Stockton isn't fair. For starters, Stockton was ten times the defender Nash is at this point of his career. Secondly, Stockton was much more durable than Nash. Lastly, there are more younger top tier point guards today compared to when Stockton was in the later stages of his careers. The Nash trade will help the Lakers tremendously, but to act as if Kobe and Nash's respective ages shouldn't be legit concerns is a bit disingenuous.
