Potential Nash suitors
ESPN's John Hollinger offered this in his Thursday chat: "They should have traded Nash a year ago and are paying for their loyalty. Still think the Blazers would be interested, but it's tough to offer much when he's not playing as well and he's a free agent after the year ... He'd never SIGN with the Blazers. But Blazers could pursue him as a rental."
Later, Hollinger answered "yes" when asked if he saw the eventual outcome with Nash not being a trade, but rather signing with the Knicks outright in free agency this summer.
While the Suns have so far been reluctant to trade Steve Nash, it may become an inevitability down the road.
The Knicks are often tossed out as a potential trade suitor -- Nash lives in New York City in the offseason; he could reunite with Amare Stoudemire and Mike D'Antoni -- but with Baron Davis now on the team, it may not make as much sense for Nash to head there.
