|
November 8, 2009 Steve Nash dished out 17 assists as the Suns won again on Sunday, beating the Wizards 102-90. Our View:It was his third game (out of seven) with 14 or more assists this season. He remains an elite player at age 35. |
|

Our View:Nash was averaging 21.5 points and 12.5 rebounds per game heading into tonight, so this is a huge disappointment for fantasy owners.

|

|
October 14, 2009 Steve Nash put together a typical night for him on Wednesday as the Suns beat the Blazers 110-104. Nash finished with 23 points and 15 assists in the win. Our View:Nash's night like this is pretty typical, which is why he has been a fantasy force for many years. The points are there, and so are the assists. He doesn't look like he has slowed down a bit, and he looks like a sure bet for fantasy production again this season. |
|
July 20, 2009 Steve Nash and the Suns have agreed to a two-year, $22 million contact extension, according to ESPN. Our View:The extension will kick in after Nash's current deal ends after this season, which is paying him $13.1 million in 2009-10. While not the force he was a few years ago, Nash remains a top-flight point guard, and shouldn't fall much further than the middle rounds of your draft. |
|
July 10, 2009 Steve Nash is close to signing a contract extension with the Suns, according to Yahoo! Sports. Our View:Terms of the potential deal are not yet clear, although they're expected to be in the three-year, $33 million dollar range. Even at 35 years of age, Nash's elite passing skills and still fine long distance shooting keep him as one of the better fantasy point guards, though his defense is a huge liability in real life that could only get worse as he continues to age. |
|
June 21, 2009 Suns GM Steve Kerr is keeping things close to the vest. According to sportsradiointerviews.com, he has squashed any rumors that the Suns have been talking to anyone about any of their players, despite what you might have heard. Our View:Kerr says that there is "nothing major happening right now" and while a lot of teams have expressed interest the hot stove is momentarily cool. Expect something to go down in the near future though. It's hard to ignore the Shaq to Cleveland rumors forever. |
|
June 11, 2009 According to the Arizona Republic, when asked by David Letterman if there was any chance of him playing for the Knicks, Steve Nash responded, "I'd love to. Can you work it out?" Barely audible underneath Letterman's follow-up was, "Nah, I'm good in Phoenix." Our View:Nash has the right to opt out of his contract and become a free agent prior to July 1. If the Knicks, who are coached by Nash's good friend Mike D'Antoni, were to make a bid on Nash, there would be virtually no chance they would retain David Lee and Nate Robinson this offseason. Nash lives in NYC in the summers. |
|
June 9, 2009 The Associated Press reports that Steve Nash will serve as an NBA Finals correspondent for the "Late Show with David Letterman" on Wednesday. Our View:This seems like a great fit for the charismatic and often hilarious Nash. As he continues to slow down on the court, the race for him off of it will probably heat up between networks covering the NBA. He can't be any worse than Jamal Mashburn at least. |
|
May 9, 2009 According to TSN.com, the Phoenix Suns have removed the interim tag from Alvin Gentry's title and promoted him to head coach. Our View:Gentry signed a deal that will keep him at the helm in Phoenix for the next three years. Gentry took over for Terry Porter, who was fired at the All Star break this season.

|
May 2, 2009 Point guard Steve Nash says it would be "exciting" if he could sign a contract extension with the Suns this summer, the Arizona Republic reports. Nash has one season left on his deal and wants to play four more seasons overall. Our View:The Suns could be in a tough spot here. The team took a step in the wrong direction this season, Nash is 35, and Amare Stoudemire could opt out of his deal after 2009-10. So, do they keep the band together? Or start to talk about rebuilding and life beyond this two-time MVP point guard? |
|
April 16, 2009 Slam! reports that the Suns may explore trade opporutnities for two-time MVP Steve Nash this summer. Nash failed to make the playoffs for the first time in nine seasons. Our View:Nash also has the option of opting out of the final year of his contract this summer. The Suns are believed to try and shed payroll this summer, but they have very few options at point guard aside from Nash. Not to mention that he is the face of the franchise and Suns fans are already less than thrilled about the team's moves since owner Robert Sarver took over the operations. |
|
April 13, 2009 The Arizona Republic reports that Steve Nash will start on Monday, but he does not expect to play much after halftime. Our View:The same goes for many of the Suns veterans for their final games. Obviously such a dip in playing time will dramatically effect their fantasy production. |
|
April 8, 2009 Steve Nash scored 24 points and dished out 13 assists while shooting 7-of-9 from the field in Phoenix's 105-100 in New Orleans on Wednesday.

|

He's scored 25 or more points in both games this month. |
|
April 1, 2009 Steve Nash scored 25 points and dished out 17 assists in the Suns 114-109 victory on Wednesday. Our View:Nash was 9-of-15 shooting and chipped in with three steals Wednesday as well. He had an extremely productive March and it looks like he's planning on more of the same for April. |

|
March 19, 2009 Steve Nash scored 24 points, tallied 10 assists and even grabbed four rebounds in the Suns' victory Wednesday night. Our View:The trend continues as Nash keeps putting up 20+ points and 10 or more assists per game. No longer an MVP, but still a fantasy asset. |

|

|

However, the Suns lost for the second straight night, this time 135-129 to the Heat. Our View:Nash has to be perplexed that his team can beat the Lakers without him, but can't seem to win with him. We are as well, but we still like the production. |
|
March 3, 2009 Steve Nash was back Tuesday after missing Phoenix's previous three games with a sprained right ankle and came through with a great performance, going 8-for-14 with eight assists, seven rebounds and four steals, though he did turn the ball over seven times. Our View:While it wasn't able to convert into a win for the Suns, it was good to see Nash back on the floor and generating points.

|

The Suns still have one of the most dangerous playoff lineups if they hold onto Amare Stoudemire and can finish out the season strong. |
|
February 15, 2009 The Arizona Republic reports that Suns coach Terry Porter is expected to be fired on Monday. GM Steve Kerr or assistant Alvin Gentry could replace him on the sidelines. The Suns have lost 10 of their last 16 games. Our View:Porter has never earned the public support of his players, which is a problem.

|
February 13, 2009 Despite denial by Suns' GM Steve Kerr, the Arizona Republic reports the chance of Kerr replacing coach Terry Porter in the near future.

|

If you can get value in return for Nash, you should try it out. |
|
February 11, 2009 Phoenix point guard Steve Nash will be a game-time decision on Wednesday, as the Suns take on Cleveland, according to the Arizona Republic. Our View:Nash has numerous ailments which are bothering him, including his hamstring, back and shoulder. If Nash cannot play, his minutes would go to Leandro Barbosa. |

|
February 9, 2009 Steve Nash indicated that he has been battling a shoulder ailment for the past month, according to the Arizona Republic. He said, "Instead of my shoulder staying down and my arm shooting, I hike it and then the elbow comes out a little bit. It is harder from long range.

|

Kerr says that everything was discussed including "how the team was constructed." Our View:Kerr is one of the more trade-happy GMs in the league. Not only did he pull the trigger on the Shawn Marion-for-Shaquille O'Neal deal, but he also made an early season move to acquire Jason Richardson. The Suns have been struggling of late and they've been getting poor effort from Richardson, and drastic inconsistency from Amare Stoudemire. They currently hold a half-game lead over the Jazz for the eighth seed in the Western Conference. |
|
January 31, 2009 Steve Nash scored 15 points, had 10 dimes, and committed seven turnovers as the Suns fell 122-111 to the Bulls on Saturday.

|
January 25, 2009 Steve Nash is questionable for Sunday's battle with the Hawks due to his sore back, according to the Sports Network.

|
January 23, 2009 Like much of the Suns team, guard Steve Nash looked disinterested Friday night, primarily because he was playing with a sore back, scoring just four points in Phoenix's 98-76 loss to Charlotte.

|

|
January 18, 2009 Steve Nash scored only nine points but handed out 18 assists as the Suns defeated the Raptors 117-113 on Sunday. Our View:Nash has played well in January. His early season struggles appear to be behind him, but his owners remain fearful of his balky back. |
|
January 16, 2009 Steve Nash scored 20 points while handing out 14 assists and grabbing seven rebounds, but his six turnovers played a big role in the Suns 113-119 overtime loss in Denver on Friday. He hit 4-of-5 from long distance. Our View:Nash's assignment Chauncey Billups also went off for 26 points. While he remains a great player in the scoring and assists categories, he is weak on defense and turnovers. |
|
January 15, 2009 Updating a previous report, the Suns have not held trade discussions with the Raptors regarding Steve Nash, according to the Arizona Republic. Our View:Nash has taken home two MVPs in his five seasons with the Suns and it would be a brutal thing to do to an already reminiscent fan base. We don't expect Nash to go any where. |
|
January 14, 2009 There is a rumor circulating that Steve Nash could be dealt to the Raptors, according to the East Valley Tribune. Our View:The speculated deal is said to be: the Suns trade Nash, Leandro Barbosa and Robin Lopez for Jose Calderon, Andrea Bargnani, Anthony Parker, Jason Kapono and potentially Jamario Moon as cap filler. There is no validity to this deal and there should be plenty more interesting rumors as the February trade deadline draws closer. |
|
January 7, 2009 Steve Nash (back) scored 16 points and handed out 12 dimes, but the Suns fell to the Pacers 110-113 on Wednesday. Phoenix was playing without Shaquille O'Neal. Our View:Nash played 43 minutes which was a good sign for those that were concerned about his back. However, don't expect the ailment to just disappear. Nash could deal with the injury for the rest of the season. |
|
January 7, 2009 Steve Nash did not participate in the shootaround, but is still expected to start tonight against the Pacers, according to the Arizona Republic.
