Steve Nash is a free agent after this year, yet you don’t hear his name come up in trade talks. While Chris Paul already forced a trade and Dwight Howard trade rumors are out there every day.
Why, because Nash is a true pro and loyal to his current team the Phoenix Suns. I wish they were more pros like Nash.
ESPN.com reports that Nash has refused to request a trade.
“I’m not oblivious to [the chance of] playing on a contender,’ Nash said. ‘But at the same time, especially in the position I’m in right now, I feel a sense of loyalty to my team. To go and ask for a trade, it’s not like I’m going to say, ‘Trade me to…’’ [...] ‘Everyone wants to be on a contender,’ Nash said. ‘It’s cyclical. Right now we’re not contending. We’re just trying to fight for an eighth spot. I just feel like I owe it to my teammates [to stay]. I like these guys a lot. I want to fight for them and see how good we can be. If we take our lumps, we take our lumps.’”
This year’s Sun team is probably the worst Sun...
