Suns Willing To Consider Trading Steve Nash
Would we really even be interested? We could put together a package of expirings and get them out of the tax for a 1/2 year rental for him and keep under the tax ourselves..

The Suns seem to only be trading Nash if he wants it
and I highly doubt he would want to come here. No doubt he would want to go to a contender. I think he would be great on Orlando.
Or Gortat.
Or Childress. Maybe Outlaw for Childress? Lessen the cap load for the Suns, give us someone who can actually play in Childress!

I'd love Gortat too
Think the Suns might keep him for a rebuild though. Young centers are hard to find, unless they get another pure Center in the draft.
But 27 year old wings with 4 year contracts? That seems more like a piece a rebuilding team would dump for cap relief and a small asset (young player, low pick).
I don't see it
Nash is in the twilight of his career. He may have one or two seasons left but no way would he resign here. He’d be a two month rental basically.
I love this team but......
Steve Nash deserves better. I wish the Suns would just buy him out & let him go where he wants. They are doing him a real disservice.

Yeah what a hugh disservice
They are paying him millions of dollars to play basketball on a contract he signed of his own free will. What pricks!!!
This attitude bugs me a little bit-
Nash has played as hard as he can the entire time he’s been PHX, whoever else was on the floor beside him. He’s an elite offensive PG and will likely be in the Hall of Fame- there’s no harm in treating him with respect, whatever you’re paying him.

I don't know Nash personally
But he doesn’t seem like the type of person who is only in it for the money.

Is there any indication that Nash wants out?

They should have traded him the moment Amare left.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
This is good news for the Kings.
They can slide into this deal and eat up some contracts if a third team is needed. The Kings could use a few more assets and might even be able to dump a player with a longer contract in the process.

I like the idea of the Kings being the 3rd team, and trading cap space for talent.
But, who’s going to explain to Petrie how this works. It hasn’t been a strong suit of his.

I love Steve Nash
Which is exactly why I don’t want him here. I want him on a contender, winning a championship

His contract is expiring, so the Mavs could acquire him and still have cap room this summer
The Mavs actually have about 9 million in trade exemptions from the Chandler, Brewer & Rudy trades. So they could swap those exemptions, Roddy B and a pick or two to the Suns for Nash.
Suns start rebuilding & Mavs acquire another star for their championship defense.
