The Blazers fielded a lineup of Nash, Isaiah Rider, Stacey Augmon, Rashid Wallace, and Sabonis.
On the first day Nash started, he scored 9 points and made 8 assists in the first half. In the second half, PJ Callesimo directly benched Robert Parker. He knew that Robert Parker would definitely want to showcase himself when he played, and since Nash wasn't looking particularly tired after playing the entire first half, he let Nash continue playing.
He wanted to promote Nash, so while Nash was playing so well today, he gave Nash more opportunities, allowing him to play a game that would convince the management and Blazers fans of Nash's talent.
Rashid Wallace scored 20 points, grabbed 4 rebounds, made 2 assists, and stole 1 ball in the first half, performing excellently. The trade with the Bullets was a steal, and it seems Rashid Wallace's future definitely won't be worse than Juwan Howard's.
