So. This is fair right? Not only is their GM one of the best in the league, their second year coach is great, they’re the current NBA Champions. So what else do they need? One of the best pure point guards in recent member as one of their player development consultant of course! Duh!
Yes, according to ESPN’s Marc Stein, Steve Nash is finalising a deal that’ll make him the Golden State Warriors part-time player dev consultant.
Sources told ESPN.com that Nash, who was not planning to go into coaching after formally announcing his retirement in March, has been lobbied aggressively by Warriors coach Steve Kerr and team president Rick Welts to spend a few days per month with the team to work on skills with individual players.
The parties, sources said, are in the process of finalizing a deal that essentially will make Nash an occasional tutor to the Golden State guards. Kerr, Welts and current Warriors player development coach Bruce Fraser — all of whom worked closely with the 41-year-old Nash when he was playing in Phoenix — are among Nash’s closest friends in the league and ultimately persuaded him to consider joining the NBA reigning champions as a part-timer.
I mean seriously? Imagine if Nash feels like going for it full time? Curry would be milking his expertise! And if not he better. Could be the most complete point guard we’ve seen. Of course this is all speculation and Nash is only on a part-time thing but you never know!
