Steve Nash’s Top Three Destination Choices for 2010
Phoenix, New York, and Toronto. Those are the three cities Steve Nash could see himself playing in following the now-infamous summer of 2010.
The Arizona Republic got wind of Nash’s choices from an interview the Suns’ point guard did with NBC:
“There’s a few situations out there that would be attractive, so I feel fortunate that there could be some possibilities for me,” Nash said. “One would be for me to stay here in Phoenix. I’ve had a great 4 1/2 years here. New York, obviously, is our off-season home, so we love the city. It’s a basketball mecca. Mike D’Antoni is there so there’s a lot of attractive variables. And then Toronto, to go back to Canada to play for the home team, so to speak.
“I feel good that one of those three could really be a really strong possibility. Like I said, Phoenix would be the natural choice, just because I’ve been here and enjoyed success here and really feel at home here.”
Though Steve hints at Phoenix being the city likely to win his services in a couple of years (when he’ll be 36), it’s worth noting that he likely would’ve never discussed the possibility of playing for another team if the Suns resembled anything like the team he once knew and loved. After all, he hasn’t exactly kept his frustration with management’s decisions over the past couple of seasons secret.
Visions of D’Antoni, Nash and LeBron are now dancing in the minds of Knicks fans everywhere. Let’s give them a minute or two to indulge in the fantasy. They’ve got nothing else to live for.
It was a decent read, although it repeated the same arguments I’ve made for years. (This is Allenp.) I have to give him credit though, he never really got on the Nash bandwagon like some folks.
And does Steve Nash play better defense against backups?
He could be like the 2010 Payton for Miami a few years a go…
Do you guys even watch basketball?
don’t hate. I am as big a Nash fan as you…maybe more so… I wear his number in the local comp I play in, dress, cut my hair and swagger like him…. and as you say his team mates hold the ball ALOT more than they should or at least to Nash doesn’t get to direct the play as well as previous seasons….YET lets be honest…HE IS TURNING THE BALL OVER ALOT this season, certainly in comparison to his TO/ASSIST ratio. MY point still stands, that being that Terry Porter has taken the free-wheeling style away from the whole unit. Sure add to that, the fact that Shaq is having an identity crisis and thinks he is 26 and not 36. He wants out…its that simple.
Do we guys even watch basketball….??
Your pride and ignorance blind you.
Nash didn’t play in D’Antoni’s system his whole career. Or even most of his career. They played together for like four years. That’s it.
Steve Nash is the same player now that he was his last year in Dallas. No big surprise.
