Nash Sees Knicks as an Option

“…In an interview with NBC sports correspondent Graham Bensinger, Nash talked about his prospects when his contract with the Suns expires after the 2009-10 season.

“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..”

Chalk Nash to NY as a done deal in 2010 as far as I’m concerned it makes too much sense. Nash will combine with Duhon or if they can acquire a point guard via the draft, but without question I see a Nash and D’Antoni reunion- at a discount. Yes, he’ll be older but he’s in great shape and would be a great complimentary guard. I would not be the second big contract by any means…

    Maybe Nash accepts the MLE to play for the Knicks. That way he can be a part of a trio of players that Walsh brings in rather than being the second big player. Nash is already on his downside and will be even further down that way in two years. If he is looking for big money, then I would rather spend that money on a younger player.
