Count former Suns general manager Steve Kerr as one who thinks Steve Nash has not thrown his last pass as a member of the Phoenix Suns.

"I'm going to go 50.5 percent that he stays in Phoenix and 49.5 that he leaves," Kerr told Arizona Sports 620's Burns and Gambo.

Well if that doesn't give you confidence the two-time MVP will return this summer...

Truth is, Kerr said he's really not sure what Nash will do this summer, as the veteran has a chance to leave town and join a contender or, if he wants, stay with the team he's played for the last eight seasons.

Kerr knows there are plenty of reasons for Nash to stay.

"I just think Steve is an incredibly loyal guy," he said. "I know he loves the training staff there, he loves Alvin, he loves his teammates.

"I think it will be difficult for him to leave."

On the flip side, Kerr noted, Nash will have a better chance to win somewhere else.

"You can't blame the guy for looking elsewhere," he said.

Free agents can begin signing with teams on July 11, which means we are still more than two months away from having a resolution to the Nash saga.

Will he stay? Will he go? It really does appear to be up in the air at this point.

    As far as Amare

    We had offers for Amare from several teams but we didn't have a GM worth a crap that could pull the trigger. Kerr is the reason the Suns are in this place. His only claim to fame is bringing in that circus act Shaq. There is absolutely no reason to move forward with Nash and Hill as our future.

    Stupid arguments pt1

    1) for a team of old men and scrubs they finish 5 games ahead of Portland and almost got into the playoffs. 2) For a team of old men and scrubs. Get rid of the old men all you get left are scrubs. 3) Was Steve Nash overpaid last year? I bet Steve Nash would take less money to come back if they get good players around him. 4)Rebuilding through the draft is a crap shoot. For every Blake Griffin there are a Kwame Brown ... I don't have the stats but I don't think 50% of the All-Star are lotto picks.

    OKC, Blazers, and Clippers are rebuilding success? LOL Blazers didn't make playoffs, drafted Roy and Oden ...yeah work out really well for them. OKC - before Durant ... last time that team was relevant. They were in Seattle and Gary Peyton was handling the ball. Clippers - I think they got more lotto pick than anyone else in the last 20 years. Suns need to hangon to Nash and Hill. If Suns fans are lucky we'll get a new owner.

    ok then, if injuries are the guage for a good draft pick, Grant Hill, who you want to hang onto, would have been a horrible pick. He's been hurt a majority of his career. When Portland had everyone healthy, they were well on their way to dominating their division. Their picks were good. But holding onto Nash and hill is the dumbest thing the Suns can do. Or haven't you noticed that we continue to stink as each year passes? Wow, Steve Nash hands out 18 assists in another loss. Grant Hill played tough D but the rest of the team can't play a lick of defense. Tired of these headlines

    You rally think Nash and Hill are gunna be better next year? What free agents want to come to a team with NO future? We had our chance to rebuild around solid players if we would have pulled the trigger on trading Amare. Only a fool like Sarver and Kerr would think Amare was going to stay and pass up a 60 million dollar difference by NY for an incentive-laiden contract from the Suns. Flush this team

    sad thing is, before you open your mouth with a stupid statement like "I don't have the stats but I don't think 50% of the All-Star are lotto picks", maybe do some basic research. Truth is for this years nba all star game, there were a total of 16 lottery picks and 6 picks who were 15-30 in past drafts. That is how you build is by drafting talent and with luck

    I dont always, but its time to rebuild. No one is going to come and play with a guy that is 38 yrs old because there is no future around him. Lets think of where the suns were just 8 yrs ago. Lottery with a lot of potential in young players such as amare, marion, babs, and JJ. Suns do not have that now and have had a lot of bad luck with picks. Being mediocre and "trying" to rebuild through free agency does not work financially either.

    Most teams are not destination teams. Phx is no longer one of those teams. But competitive teams who have the ability to compete for championships have assets. They have a star to build around and young studs and picks to make trades and create a foundation. OKC did that, Spurs have done that, Heck, boston was horrible until they traded top young players and draft picks to get where they are today. Look at how Chicago has built its team through the draft and FA signings? Rose, Deng, Noah. Solid core right there.

    Why should any of us agree with Babby? His data is false and is screwed. So I will tell you what, they plan on spending on as much money as possible to keep the blind suns fan who craves mediocrity. they will overpay or over reach for a FA and make yet another bad draft pick. The front office is a joke and they cannot find or evaluate talent like they used too. the GM is a coward and will not show any leadership. Sarver is a moron and guess what blind suns fans, that 8-10 years of rebuild, its going to happen no matter what because this team has no assets or vision. poor leadership.
