Source confirms Toronto has offered Steve Nash a three-year, $36 million deal with no options attached. @ESPNSteinline had first.

Should be the biggest offer by far.

**Porn Player** · 07-01-2012, 01:50 PM

Excited doesn't describe it.

**Basel** · 07-01-2012, 01:54 PM

If he accepts, Toronto may actually become watchable again.

**Porn Player** · 07-01-2012, 01:56 PM

I really hope this isn't our only play this summer.

**Diable** · 07-01-2012, 02:24 PM

I don't guess the Heat even bothered trying to offer Nash the 3 million they could. Unless Nash wants to chase titles this is probably the best offer he'll get. Toronto could be pretty decent if Nash could sustain his current level of play. Of course it's hard to see him being effective averaging much over 30-33 minutes per game, so you'd need a good back up too.

Keeping Calderon would be like bringing Nash-lite off the bench, but making way too much money for that.

chilltown · 07-01-2012, 02:28 PM

I hope the Suns don't match this. Good for Toronto though.

Steve Nash (AKA "the greatest Canadian alive besides Brian Adams and Celine Dion") is no ring-chaser, as far as i can tell.
It would be proper for him to end his career in Canada (Toronto).

Start with Nash, end with Wiggins.

Canada dominates.

**R-Star** · 07-01-2012, 02:33 PM

How the hell does Toronto get Wiggins?

**Porn Player** · 07-01-2012, 02:35 PM

Nash goes down for a season during this 3 years. Raptors end up with the number 1 choice - Welcome Wiggins!

seifer0406 · 07-01-2012, 02:44 PM

It's way too much money but whatever. It's not like the Raptors ever had a plan to begin with.

Marcus13 · 07-01-2012, 02:52 PM

This is going to come down to how much hometown, native pride he has for Canada. It's the best offer numbers-wise but Canada's taxes are also higher and will take a portion of that.

That's a very big stretch dude. If there's one thing we've all learned this year, it's that you can end the season with the worst winning percentage in the history of the NBA, and can still end up not getting the first overall pick.
