Nash would 'definitely consider' Knicks
By Jared Zwerling

All-Star point guard Steve Nash, an unrestricted free agent, said Wednesday that he would weigh an offer from the New York Knicks, should they choose to make one.

"The Knicks are a great franchise and I live in New York City (each summer), so I'd definitely consider them if they were interested," the Phoenix Suns' mainstay said at a promotional appearance in Manhattan.

The Knicks, however, will be hampered in free agency. Because they likely will lose out in early-bird rights arbitration, which hasn't been decided yet, they'll only have veterans' minimum contracts to offer free agents. And that's if Jeremy Lin and Steve Novak don't re-sign, which is highly doubtful.

Also at Wednesday's event was Knicks legend and MSG Network analyst Walt Frazier, who told Nash, "We need you to come to New York!"

Nash said he was "flattered" to hear that from Frazier, who believes the Knicks need to land a veteran point guard. Nash is the front-runner in that class of free agents -- which also includes Andre Miller, Jason Kidd and Raymond Felton -- and that means he'll likely fetch a mid-level-like, multiyear deal.

Nash, who's 38, said he doesn't feel old and wants to play two to three more years. He won't make a decision about his destination until after free agency begins July 1.

"I want to wait and see what's actually on the table," he said. "I'm open and excited. I'm looking at every possibility right now."

Some insiders believe Nash will first consider the Mavericks, his former team, and the Nets, if Deron Williams doesn't re-sign. The Heat are also a possibility.

If Nash came to New York, he would be reunited with Amare Stoudemire. They dominated in the pick-and-roll to lead the Suns to four postseason appearances, including trips to the Western Conference finals in 2005 and 2010.


I know I know, it's a pipe dream etc etc and never will happen but we can still dream...

It would be REALLY good- Light your pipe and dream away-
If you are still following the team and reading sites like this, there is nothing, short of your own demise, that is going to throw you off this train.

I could easily see Nash in a Dallas uni again. Worst nightmare would be a Miami uniform. Indifferent uni Brooklyn, unless Dwight somehow lands there.

Here we go again.

It's that time of year when every top player in the NBA wants to play in New York.

Yup... they come in to get a free lunch or dinner in the big apple and leave with a bette chance of getting a larger contract in another town, while the Knicks look like fools, and all we get as fans are raised, and then shattered, hopes.

Stop with the negativity! You're making me relive the summer of 2010 all over again

Yeah, he was in ny for a promotional event- of course he's going to say nice things about us- otherwise the media would tear into him.

The Bird Rights case may be the most important thing that happens for NY this offseason.

Sounds about right. Look up Grant Hill for reference.

Every couple of years, it's always Nash, Hill and Kidd and every couple of years, we get the crap end of the stick. We are never getting these guys.

My thoughts exactly, I hope if Nash does have interest and they have to choose between him and Lin that they choose Nash because this team has to win now the window is only 2-3 years in my opinion with the way this is constructed
No layups!

I don't see us getting Nash. My guess is Nash goes back to Dallas and maybe we get Kidd.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.
