Report: Steve Nash has no interest in being traded


All along the Suns have maintained that they have no interest in trading star point guard Steve Nash, and would only part with him if he asked to be dealt.

That hasn't happened -- at least not yet.

According to a report by CBSSports.com's Ken Berger, the Suns would accommodate Nash's wish to be traded, if he in fact had one.

"It's really on him in terms of what he wants to do or not do," a person with knowledge of the situation said. Nash, who turns 38 next week, will be an unrestricted free agent July 1.

Really, the Suns and Nash are in the same place now as they were last week, last month and, probably, last year. They don't want to trade him, and he is not anxious to leave.

While that could change before the March 15 deadline, it appears you can plan on seeing Nash wear his customary purple and orange No. 13 jersey for the foreseeable future.

    I love the Suns, and I am a huge fan of Steve Nash but it's like a poker game. They are waiting for the other side to show their hand. I never thought I'd see the day where I'd actually prefer the organization move him. As it stands right now, the Suns are mediocre at best and can't lose enough with him and can't win enough without him. If he stays and resigns after the season, do we even get better? We have so many contracts (Childress, Frye, Warrick) that handcuff us from an impact player(s) to compliment Nash.
