Steve Nash ‘Would Definitely Listen’ to a Miami Heat Offer


by Marcel Mutoni / @marcel_mutoni

Steve Nash will be one of the most prized free agents this summer, and though the point guard (38 years old, and still leading the League in assists) says that returning to Phoenix is what he’d like to do if they’re serious about winning, he’s keeping all of his options open.

Those options, apparently, include possibly teaming up with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the rest of the Miami Heat. (*Gulp*)

Nash made an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show today, and said that if Miami made him an offer, he’d listen very carefully:

“I’d listen,” Steve Nash said. […] “I love what they’re doing there. A lot of people don’t like them because they put all that talent together.”

“But they’re professional, they play hard, they play together. Their coaching staff has done a great job. So, I have a tremendous amount of respect for them, and I would definitely listen.”

Steve Nash also said that he thinks the Phoenix Suns are willing to spend and make moves to improve the roster, so that he can have a legitimate shot at his first NBA championship. Nash — though still obviously brilliant at his advanced age — doesn’t have a lot of time left to be playing at such a high level.

If he bolts to South Beach or another contending team this summer, it’d be difficult for most reasonable basketball fans to be upset with Steve Nash’s decision.

People don't like them because they're fucking dicks.

Never thought he was one to take the easy way out. Bummer.

He needs to go somewhere where he can win. Now.

He never has, but at 38 going to a win-now team isn't the easy way out, it's just sensible. Anyone who would begrudge him making that move at this stage should zip it IMO.

If there is ever a guy that deserves it, its Steve. Not even I could boo the Heat if he joined up for a season or two.

This ^. The guy is a complete class act and him with the Heat would make them lethal.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Can you imagine what dicks LeBron and Wade are to be around?

yeah,
i had the same exact thought.
Especially Wade. It cracks me up when he tries to be tough guy on the court.

Did you see LeBrick walk all bad ass when he hit that buzzer beater at the end of the first half?

Walk the walk when you can make 'em like Kobe and Kevin more often than not.

Or just TRY to take them, puss.
