A startling rumour is running riot throughout Arizona at the moment that two time MVP Steve Nash will at some point be traded by the Phoenix Suns this season.
Nash was interviewed about the rumour during the week by a local paper, and it seems he is happy playing for the Suns.
"I've done everything I possibly can for this club", Nash stated, "If that were an eventuality, we'd move on. There's no real loyalty in sports. But I signed here because I wanted to play with these guys and play for our fans. I'd love to stay here. My personal opinion is it's a lot of chatter, not really substantial".
Suns coach Alvin Gentry was a little more forceful in his opinions on the subject practically guaranteeing Nash's allegiance to the club.
"Steve's not going to be traded, that I can tell you. If he's getting traded, I'm going along with him, OK? Have you looked at the way he's playing? He's playing at a real high level. Why would we trade him? I don't understand that. That's nothing that's been discussed here. It's not going to happen".
36 year old Nash is having another stellar year with a re shaped Phoenix line up, after All Star forward Amare Stoudemire left the Suns during the off season.
Nash is averaging 19.9 points and 9.5 assists a game, showing that if we were to be traded, another all star calibre player would surely have to come into conversation.
