Kevin Gray just reported this... says press conference will be Monday to make it official.

If this is true Colangelo must have offered him more than just a two year contract. I am thinking 2 year contract worth some serious coin as well as a brass job with the organization after his 2 years is up.

Anyone else hearing this?

Nash ain't going to the Raptors that's for sure. He wants a ring most likely, and going to the Raptors isn't going to help him get that, not by a long shot.

I agree with you on that... but Nash has never stated that he wants to go somewhere for a ring. Dallas is heavy on D.Williams so I don't think Nash is at the point in his career where he wants to be considered by a team because they didnt get their #1 Nash was also just appointment President of Canadian basketball. Him going to the Raptors isn't that far fetched. I know it is difficult for a lot of us Americans to understand a person desire to play basketball in Canada but I am thinking there might be something to what Gray is reporting. Keep in mind, if it does happen, this is the 2nd time Colangelo has swooped in and snatch Nash.

I remember Nash said a while ago that he wouldn't mind playing his last few seasons in Toronto before he retires. Still tho raptors suck, it'd be a waste of his talent

Nash isn't a ring chaser, he would have bolted from Phoenix much earlier if that was his main priority. At this point in his career he's looking for a payday and expanding his brand, and theres no way better than coming home to Canada. He's also looking to open a restaurant in Toronto on Queen St. Not to mention Toronto to is going to offer the most money at about $36 mil for 3 years. His recent team Canada hiring also suggests he's still close with the Colangelos, and Triano which are obviously both with Toronto. It's almost a certainty at this point that he's signing with Toronto. Pick and rolls with Valanciunas next season are gonna be fun.

Toronto is a much improved team already with Casey. They went from one of the worst defensive teams to one of the best in a lockout shortened season and no training camp. Factor in Nash at PG, Valanciunas at C and enough cap space to go after an elite SF such as Rudy Gay and the Raptors are a top 5 team in the East.

I'm kind of conflicted on this. I'm a Raps fan and would love to see Nash in TO. But the Raptors are not going to be competing for the title in the next two years. If he signs with the Raptors he is giving up any chance at getting a ring.

I haven't heard anything about it. He's one of my favorite players and I'd like to see him go to the Dallas or San Antonio. Tony Parker would have to slide out as PG though.
