Yeah, I would love that if it happened. I'm just not sold on the talk about him finishing his career with the Raptors being anything more than wishful thinking. I actually think Phoenix would love to do the same thing: draft Kabongo and then keep Nash as his mentor for a year or two.
I wonder if Phoenix would go for something like a sign-and-traded Nash and their mid-first draft pick for Ed Davis, Bayless, and a lottery-protected 2013 first-rounder. Probably not enough there unless they were sure that Nash wasn't going to resign.
There's also the possibility that Nash would rather finish his career on a contender rather than as a mentor on a rebuilding club. As much as it would pain me to see it, he would look amazing on the Heat or Lakers.
