Steve Nash may join the Raptors?

[jonathanlambert33]

All indications in Phoenix are the Suns will make Steve Nash a limited offer and he’ll move on. It makes sense as the Suns will have $23 million in salary cap room and they’ve gone as far as they can go. The Suns were always a player destination, and this will test whether they still are under the frugal Robert Sarver management. Many believe Nash instead of chasing a title with a contender for a lesser salary will go back to Canada and the Raptors for a three-year deal and help bring their young players along.

Lol no

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah, I don't see a guy who deserves a ring go to a team that has no chance in the foreseeable future. Just to help the young players he has no connection to currently lol.

 

[dcpwner]

yeah i was gonna reply 1 word. Why?

Haha that Stephen A gets me everytime. This wouldn't make sense. I think he has a better shot at a ring on the Suns than the Raptors do. It feels that he's been on the Suns forever, it made me almost forget that he was on the Mavs.

 

[elcheato]

I don't see why Steve Nash must have a ring. He's already a first ballot HOFer. No one could fault him for wanting to go back home.

 

[Elite]

I would. He seems far too content to have never won anything. Never seemed like he cared the past two years while the Suns were never really relevant.

Going to a team where he knows that there is a 0% chance that they have a realistic shot at winning even a playoff series during his time there wouldn't make any sense.

 

[elcheato]

Because not winning a championship does not equal the end of the world.

Not sure how signing with a stacked team at the end of his career and winning a ring would change his legacy or anything really.

Playing in front of your home town for equal pay seems like a good deal to me.

 

[Elite]

Who gives a shit about their legacy? You play basketball to win. Going somewhere knowing that you're going to lose is stupid and complacent.

I never said he should join a stacked team, I don't even want him in Miami. But going to place where you have no shot at winning makes zero sense.

 

[Hurricane Season]

Not sure how he seemed to "not care" either.

He damn near averaged 53/40/90 with 10+ assists on a garbage suns team.

 

[elcheato]

Making millions of dollars playing a game close to home is now considered stupid, got it.

 

[Elite]

Losing is stupid.

And let's be honest, who really wants to live in Canada anyway?

 

[elcheato]

People who grew up there?

Toronto is a nice place.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Someone from Canada?

Well he could win a ring, then go to Toronto if he really wanted to play at home. The whole point of playing in the NBA is really to win a ring?

Someone who grew up in Canada ?

You've probably never been to Canada because it's pretty awesome.
