Poor Steve Nash


Steve Nash speaks his mind.  He doesn’t gloss over things and usually knows exactly what’s going on. Which is why it must be pretty distressing for Suns fans to hear Nash say the following: “To be honest, if I was outside this picture and a betting man, I would probably pick us to be outside of the playoffs considering all the changes and the new guys,” 

As candid as Nash is, he’s also a leader, meaning he probably should have kept his mouth shut on this one.  But it’s tough to blame a guy with so many reasons to be pissed off.  Last year the Suns pushed the Lakers to the brink in the Western Conference Finals, surprising everyone and arguably playing better than they ever have. Yet despite being a team only a few players short of a championship, Phoenix was dismantled this summer, starting with their franchise big man Amar'e Stoudemire, who put an apostrophe in his name and took off for New York.  

Which leaves Steve Nash in the twilight of his career, surrounded with new teammates and minus a franchise partners to whom he’s gotten used to feeding passes.   Here’s how Steve Nash should get his revenge: Take a massive pay cut and sign with Miami.
