Steve Nash to the Heat--Why He Would Fit Perfectly

I'm sure you've heard the rumors...Steve Nash thinking about leaving the Suns if major improvements are not made. Nash's first consideration? The Miami Heat. One of the most liked players in the NBA thinking about going to possibly the most hated team in the league.

The question is--how will Nash fit in with the Heat's run and gun style? At age 38, the Canadian point guard still does not have a ring. In his 15th season out of Santa Clara college, Nash has been labeled as one of the top point guards of this era.

People have been saying Nash's style and age won't fit in with the Heat's young, running ways. I disagree and here's why...

Nash is still putting up his NBA-high 11 assists per game, and a little below his average points per game, with 13. Age is barely affecting this man. How many 38 year-old men do you see running around dropping 11 dimes a game. He has had 12+ assists in 21 games this year.

I think he will fit in perfectly with the Heat. He can give them a true point guard and make it easier for Wade, LeBron, and Bosh to score. He will be able to run the floor with them just fine. I see little regress in Nash's play and I expect him to be very efficient for a few more years. Enough to help Miami, or whatever team he decides is right for him, to possibly win a championship.

We all know Nash is not staying in Phoenix. If he does, he is crazy. He wants to win a ring, and knows he can still play to a level where he can help any team.

It'll be interesting to see who gets in on Nash and who he ends up with.To show that he still has it, watch here as Nash throws a slick pass to Amar'e for the dunk.
