Former Suns GM thinks Nash will stick around

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.
