Raptors really do want a different nationality for each roster spot huh

Steve Nash has the ability to sway the balance of power in either conference, and this dude is mulling over offers from Toronto and Brooklyn. smh

:lol a bit of hyperbole, but he can make a big difference for a team trying to reach the next level.

can he? name a specific team he puts over the top. i'm not seeing one.

he makes miami worse, he has no one to run with in LA, who does he really put over the top?

[LkrFan]

Top that Miami! :nope

[Latarian Milton]

dude's canadian and bringing the greatest canadian bballer back home would probably boost jersey sales which would pretty much make up for the 36m/3yr overpaid contract imho

[HeatChamps]

lol Mavs

[racm]

lol no he doesnt

I'd say one-eyed Tony Parker has a better chance of swinging the balance of power than TOSB Nash, and this has zero homerism.

[Josh McRoberts]

lol Canada

[baseline bum]

$36 million for a guy who is going to be 39 by the playoffs of his first season? :rollin

Bryan Colangelo loves getting in bidding wars with himself. It's pretty funny how people in Phoenix still think he's a great GM.

I guess you had to know something this stupid was going to happen when he drafted Ross at 8.

[Spurs9]

Lmao sons who was it that was betting everyone on the board Nash would stay in Phoenix?

[intlspurshk]

Do Raptors really need to spend so much to scare other teams from the competition?

[ducks]

nash wants a three year deal
dallas wants to offer him a fat 1year deal was thinking about offering a 2 year deal
now thiscrazy offer
that third year better not be guaranteed

[HarlemHeat37]

The Raptors management never ceases to amaze me, tbh..

Valenciunas better live up to the hype..

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol toronto continues to build a team of no defensive players....

Report: Suns offer Steve Nash $6 mill a year for just two years

If true, can Steve Nash look at this as anything other than disrespect?

Not that he was headed back to Phoenix anyway, but Paul Cavlvisi of KSTAR radio in Phoenix reports the Suns offer is two years, $6 million per year. (Via IamaGM.com).

Take that with a grain of salt. But the two years thing was expected from Phoenix, that I don’t doubt. On the money side, that would be about half what the Raptors have already offered if true.

The Knicks are still trying to do a sign-and-trade to bring in Nash to his summer home, while if Deron Williams stays in Brooklyn you can bet Dallas will jump in with a healthy offer for Nash to reunite him with Dirk Nowitzki.

Nash would be smart to be patient and let the market come to him. He’ll get both money and a good landing spot if he’s patient.

Nash is playing things out as he should tbh

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

a 2 year $12,000,000 deal isn't unreasonable at all. The Suns don't owe anything to Nash. It's time to move on.

[Mori Chu]

I don't think the Suns made any official offer to Nash. But honestly they shouldn't. It's time to let him go. Or rather, it was time to let him go a year or two ago, but this will have to do. Overpaying to keep him in Phoenix is just treading water and dooming us to barely miss the playoffs and draft 13th every year. I love Nash, favorite Sun of all time, but the Nash era has ended.
