Steve Nash was out for majority of last season and is ruled out for the 2014-15 season due to a recurring back injury. There isn’t much the Lakers can do but they’re reportedly trying to pull off a miraculous trade.
“With respect to injured guard Steve Nash, meanwhile, sources say that the Lakers are still evaluating their options,” Stein reported. “As ESPN.com reported last month when Nash was ruled out for the 2014-15 season because of recurring nerve issues with his back, Lakers officials are planning to explore the trade market for potential deals between now and the February trade deadline with Nash’s $9.7 million expiring contract.”
There could be somewhat of a market for Nash if teams are looking to to clear cap space for the summer of 2015. He is in the final year of his deal worth $9,701,000 and will come off of the books this summer. However, it still seems like a bit of a long-shot the Lakers will be able to deal.
