"There's positives to every situation," Nash said. "The Raptors would be one of those teams where you're probably not going there to win a championship in the next three years. For me it'd be going home to Canada, to a great city, and trying to help an organization move forward.
"I'm open to the positives of all of them. It'd be great if four or five contenders came after me and all offered me a deal, but the reality is I might not get that opportunity. So I'm going to look at every opportunity and Toronto will be one that I'll study as well and look at the opportunity for them to grow in the next three years and what kind of impact I can have on that team. And obviously from a community standpoint, it's a special place for me."

Reports today have the Raptors offering him 12 million a season and a 5 man contingent for the Raptors set to be in Manhattan tomorrow to visit with him.
For someone who lives in Toronto, it would be amazing to have this happen. The ACC would be sold out every night, I can only imagine how much more popular the Raptors could even be with the chance of an NHL lockout. It be exciting to, because even at his age, Nash is not a shell of his former self and it would not just be a simple publicity stunt. Nash is right, he could really change the history of this franchise and help it grow.
