By adding Nash, the Lakers are once again the most interesting team in the West.
The Clippers have flash, but are not ready for prime time. The Spurs are tested, but can't rely on miracles. The Thunder are ready, but not proven. Houston is only marginally better and Dallas becomes a bubble team.
But the Lakers are now led by 2 multi-MVP winners. Nash and Kobe are among the smartest players in the league. Kobe's biggest fault has been his insistence on having the offense run through him. He was forced to create every shot opportunity, which caused him to over-shoot. Hopefully, he is ready and willing to give some of that responsibility to Nash; who is a proven game changer. They may be past their prime, but neither of them have ever played with another offensive player as good as each other.
And that's scary.
