I think the Raptors have a 50/50 shot at Nash. Honestly the money is big because it is obviously a sign of respect, but its the chance to become something more than he could just winning a title with Kobe or LeBron. I mean he's basically a footnote there. But for the greatest player Canada has ever produced to come home and help turn the Raptors around, that can really have a more substantial impact. My gut tells me he will pick the Raptors because honestly they might not be a championship team with him, but certainly a playoff team and if Valanciunas is as good as he looks and with Steve Nash being Steve Nash, it completely opens things up for everyone else. With them buying in defensively last year, I honestly could see them in the top 4 in the East in the 2013 season.
