Steve Nash to the Lakers, as Knicks Miss Out
Just hours after a report surfaced that the Knicks were the favorite to land free agent point guard Steve Nash, the two-time NBA MVP stunned the basketball world by agreeing to a sign-and-trade with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to reports.
Nash will reportedly sign a three-year deal worth $27 million. The Lakers could swing the deal thanks to the trade exception they received by sending Lamar Odom to the Dallas Mavericks last season.
The Suns will receive 2013 and 2015 first-round picks and 2013 and 2014 second-round picks from the Lakers, according to the Arizona Republic.
