The speculation on Steve Nash's future remains a hot button issue not only in Phoenix but also around the NBA.

NBA.com's Sam Smith weighed in with his thoughts surrounding Nash's future.

All indications in Phoenix are the Suns will make Steve Nash a limited offer and he'll move on. It makes sense as the Suns will have $23 million in salary cap room and they've gone as far as they can go.

Despite popular belief the veteran point guard would choose to ink a deal in an effort to win a championship in the twilight of his career, Smith believes Nash will go a different route.

Many believe Nash instead of chasing a title with a contender for a lesser salary will go back to Canada and the Raptors for a three-year deal and help bring their young players along.

The Suns management has spent their money foolishly over the past few years and despite having a plethora of cap space available this offseason, it's not a slam dunk team president Lon Babby will spend the funds.

It's also not a guarantee the Suns will be as attractive a free agent destination without the two-time MVP point guard in the fold.

Nash averaged 12.5 points, 10.7 assists and 3 rebounds for the Suns in 2012.

    They burned so bright during the Colangelo years, but now they are collapsing into a black hole. Nothing, not even wins, escape from a black hole. How depressing!! At least other valley sports are burning bright.

    This is not a shocker. The Suns have no one in which would make Nash want to stay. I love Nash but it is time for both sides to move on. Let's try to focus on players who want to play defense and rebound.

    Okay we can stop now. There was an article on here yeterday that said that Steve Kerr thought that Nash would stay. Now this guy saying that he's going to leave. Everybody and their uncle has a different opinion about what's going to happen, so i think we can stop reporting every Tom, Dick, and Hank's theory. NEWS FLASH - A homeless guy at the stop light at 18th St. & Washington has a sign that says Nash is going to STAY!

    will hire D'Antoni and will get Steve Nash through Colangelo's schemes. they will try to make a run but unfortunately, will not even come close to winning. it will be sad to witness Steve's career if this is how it ends.

    how man championships did the Colangelo's win again? Yes, they were ten times better than Sarver and his clown show, but they never won anything. Yes, we had good teams here and there dominated with mediocrity in between. but you cant ignore the success they have had since Sarver has taken over. About what we would get from the C's. But its all crashing down and its going to be a long rebuild process. Oh, I love nash, but its time to part ways and stop avoiding the outcome that is placed before us. The longer we hold on, the harder it is going to be to get out of this hole of irrelevance.
