Has The Sun Finally Set for Steve Nash?

Steve Nash’s time with the Phoenix Suns may be up. As one analyst puts it, the sun may be setting on Nash’s storied career in Phoenix. This doesn’t mean that Nash will be done playing basketball for good. Though he’s been in the league for 13 seasons, I fully believe he’s got two maybe three more seasons in him — back problems and all. The guy can still play, and he proved that this season, even as his team began to crumble around him.

Steve Nash may no longer be a Phoenix Sun after this season.

First, his new coach Terry Porter was fired. Then his best friend, Raja Bell, gets traded. THEN, Boris Diaw is let go. Every decision that Steve Kerr has made as a GM has apparently done more bad than good for the setting Suns, who failed to make the playoffs for the first time in nine seasons.

Yet, despite all of that, Steve Nash still wants to remain in Phoenix.
It kind of makes you wonder what Kerr will do next. Letting Nash go would be a mistake, in my opinion. But it’s not up to me. Unfortunately, it’s not really up to Nash either.
