Despite the draft being less than 48 hours away, talk continues to be around Steve Nash’s future in a Suns uniform.
According to the New York Post’s Marc Berman, the Knicks are having discussions to bring the Suns point guard over to the Big Apple.

The Suns are already looking toward next season, but more than half of the NBA will be playing games this weekend to fight to play well into June for a chance at a NBA championship.

Devin Harris and Derrick Favors and two first round picks are the pieces coming back to Utah in a deal that is a clear move for the future for Utah. (more…)
