STEVIE!
Many forget, Nash had two stints with the Suns.
The Suns organization need help! They don’t know how to run a franchise! They just paid Beal 90 million to NOT play! 😂
Nash killing
Pivotal year for him. If he doesn’t pop as their 3rd guard that year, Dallas doesn’t pay him and who knows how his career would go?
