Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash, one of the top free agents this summer, made
ripples around the league in a radio interview Thursday, saying he would consider
joining the Miami Heat. “I’m not coming back to the Suns if there isn’t improvement,”
Nash told “The Dan Patrick Show”. Nash explained he’s expecting the Suns to try to
make those improvements, but that he’s looking forward to becoming a free agent and
deciding where to continue his career. The hypothetical of LeBron James asking Nash
to join up in Miami for one last push at a championship was brought up. “I would listen,”
Nash said. “He’s phenomenal. I love what they’re doing there. A lot of people don’t like
them because they put all that talent there. 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. “I would definitely listen.” It shouldn’t surprise anyone
the 38-year-old point guard without a world championship might be enticed by the idea
of joining a contender that has what many consider a relative hole at the point guard
slot.
