Indications that the New York Knicks were on the cusp of scoring superstar point guard Steve Nash proved for naught Wednesday, as CBS Sports confirms that Nash will instead pack his bags for Los Angeles.
According to the developing story, the LA Lakers have agreed to send future draft picks to Phoenix in a sign-and-trade deal for Steve Nash.
Despite being at an age that would suggest the end of his career is approaching, Nash remains one of the most coveted point guards in the league, and if true, this pull is enormous for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers have struggled at the point in recent years; they traded for the talented Ramon Sessions last season, but when the post season arrived, the promising player effectively “choked” and could not offer enough to help the team extend its postseason run beyond the conference semifinals.
