    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to TheFreak again.

    He'd help all of those teams, it depends on what he wants.

    1. If he wants a good shot at the title, probably Miami. That offense would be devastating.

    2.The team that would compliment his style the most, the Magic. He maximize the offense of every player on that team with the ball in his hands, especially Dwight Howard. You would see Howard getting close to 24 ppg. Throw in Ryan Anderson and Jason Richardson. With Chicago losing Rose and Boston declining, they'd be easily 2nd best team in the East. If they are able to draw Nash, then the Magic can hold onto Dwight for another year or so.

    3. If he wants the most money on a fairly competitive team with an energetic and loyal fan base - The Pacers.


    Darkhorse teams for Nash:

    Portland Trailblazers: If they hold onto all of their picks, and draft a point guard at some point. You might see them jump into the Steve Nash race.

    New York Knicks: He's the one point guard that the Knicks would push Lin out of the door for.

    Los Angeles Lakers: Would be interesting how this works. Nash could sign for peanuts with them, or they could acquire him through a sign and trade with Phoenix. Might need 3rd team to get involved.

    He said he could imagine signing with the Heat and that Money is not the deciding factor for him. I see him signing for MLE with them to get a ring.

    I could see Nash going to the Magic, or the Heat.

    However, I think a great scenario for him would be in Memphis. He wouldn't have to play so much, as Conley would be an excellent back-up, while Nash gets Gay. And also, he has Randolph and Gasol; the PnR all day err day would be devastating.

    Nash / Conley
    Allen / Mayo
    Gay / Arthur
    Randolph / idk
    Gasol / Haddadi

    Solid 10 man rotation.

    ^ I honestly think that, if Memphis adds Nash, they could get to the WCF every year.

    Sure, Nash isn't as skilled defensively, as Conley is, but a Conley / Mayo combo coming off the bench would be sick.

    Playing for heat won't help Nash's status even if he wins a championship.
    Malone and Stockton didn't have one.

    I say he goes where he makes most money and dribbles ball most.

    Actually, if Nash wouldn't mind being the first player coming off the bench, he'd be pretty good.

    Yes, both James and Wade need the ball in their hands; while both are on the floor, Nash wouldn't be touching it. However, when one of them sits, Nash is going to have a grand ol' time with Bosh and Wade/James PnRs.
