Phoenix Suns offer Steve Nash a bit too late

Steve Nash agreed to be part of the Golden State Warriors' staff on Thursday, as InsideBayArea reported it first, but on Saturday morning Marc J. Spears of Yahoo NBA tweeted that Nash was offered by both the Suns and Lakers before taking the job in Oakland.

Lakers & Suns also tried to hire ex-guard Steve Nash in a similar position before he joined Warriors as a consultant with friend Steve Kerr.
