What Should Nash Do?

If you've been following the playoffs in the NHL and NBA you undoubtedly have seen Steve Nash popping up all across the map.  The two-time MVP has been spotted in Vancouver and Boston taking in the playoff hockey action of his beloved hometown Vancouver Canucks.  It just so happens that his brother in-law, Manny Malhotra plays for the Canucks as well.  He's also been seen in Miami, supporting old pal Dirk Nowitzki and his former team, the Dallas Mavericks, in their quest for that elusive championship.  After seeing his best buddy finally hoist the trophy after 13 years in the league, it makes you wonder just what exactly is going through Nash's thoughts these days.  He has always been viewed as a loyal employee who would never stir the pot and publicly ask to be traded,  Personally though, it has to really tear him apart, knowing how close he has come on several occasions, only to see his team blown up each and every time and never even given the opportunity to try and make it back.  Granted many people thought the cinderella Suns of 2010 were playing way above their heads to begin with, but had that Ron Artest putback in Game 5 missed, who knows what happens in overtime and Game 6 thereafter.  The summer of 2010 didn't stop with the players as the entire front office was overhauled.  After a while, you start to question just what the priorities of an organization are.  Three times the Phoenix Suns have made the conference finals since Nash returned in 2004.  And each time, the team has been torn apart the following summer with little chance to build on the previous season's accomplishments.  Nash will turn 38 this coming season, so the window of opportunity is barely even cracked open at this point.  You can't help but feel sympathy for a player who just saw his best friend finally conquer the mountain, and hope that he will be given atleast one more opportunity.  Selfishly, I would love to see Steve Nash end his career in purple and orange playing for the Suns.  But I wouldn't blame him one bit if he walked into Robert Sarver's office and asked to be traded to a contender.  For everything he has done for the Suns organization, the least they could do is give him one final shot at that elusive title.  Lord knows the Phoenix Suns won't be back in the Finals anytime soon.
