Well, you can add another team to the list of potential landing spots for Steve Nash.

The veteran point guard, who is set to become a free agent on July 1, said the New York Knicks would be an option, should they make an offer.

"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," Nash told ESPN New York.

Unfortunately for the Knicks, though, they aren't likely to have much cap space this summer. Barring unforeseen circumstances they'll only have minimum contracts to offer free agents, and while Nash is 38 and on the downside of his career, he'll certainly command more money than that.

After all, point guards who average 12.5 points and 10.7 assists per game while shooting 53 percent from the floor and 39 percent from three-point range are valuable, and some team with money to spend will gladly give a good amount to Nash.

Who those teams are and how seriously Nash will consider them remains to be seen, but at this point we know the two-time MVP will at least listen to pretty much any offer.

"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."

The Suns, Knicks, Raptors, Nets, Trail Blazers and Mavericks have all been mentioned as teams Nash could join, with the Hawks and Jazz also being linked to the point guard.

No one knows which one Nash will choose -- or if it's any one of those teams to begin with -- but we'll find out soon enough.

    Was already on the list
    New York was already on that list buddy. Oh yeah so are the Suns, Heat, Mavs but that's only if the can't get Williams and also the Raptors. And don't forget there is probably some team we don't know about that will throw a lot of money towards him but we don't know about them yet.

    New York isn't a new candidate
    but given their cap space issues, this could be a good sign and trade candidate, couldn't it? Maybe they could get back a Jeremy Lin or Iman Shumpert?

    This just in...
    Nash says he would consider offers from other teams... Oh wait, that's old news, and he would be stupid not to listen to every single offer on the table, even one that would come from the Washington Generals if they wanted him. Please hold off on the breaking Nash news until it is actually news worthy.
