The Lakers are making a late move to try and sign Steve Nash, tweets NBA.com reporter David Aldridge. The Raptors, Knicks, and Mavericks are three other teams in the mix.
From Aldridge's piece on NBA.com:
The Lakers, with a payroll already projected in excess of $83 million next season, would only be able to offer Nash an exception starting at $3.09 million for next season. It’s unlikely Nash would take that, so a sign-and-trade deal would be a more realistic possibility.
The Lakers do have a viable starting point guard they could send Phoenix in such a deal, Ramon Sessions, who became an unrestricted free agent after surprisingly opting out of the last year of his contract. Forwards Jordan Hill and Matt Barnes are also free agents.

Back off. BC’s already pretty much dealt with the Knicks. Don’t mess with BC
would their cap even allow for them to come close?
Sign and trade with Phoenix
Why would Phoenix let Nash go to LA… come on
So they can actually get some assets for him.
The lakers have no assets
The Lakers think you’re both very cute.
That would be a perfect fit.
Only the MLE? Nash thinks you’re cute :P
Smart move but no cap space. Will Nash really take only the MLE? I guess if he wants to win a championship bad enough.
maybe kobe should take a 15 million cut if he ever wants to win again
maybe we can pay him under the table like the Nets do.
This is the only team besides Miami that can actually offer him the chance to win a championship.
Seeing as the Thunder will ensure the Lakers are done in the West for a while, you are pretty funny… did you already forget the beatdown they delivered?”
just get nash because he is still one of the best pg in the NBA…..
Sessions and Hill for Nash. Hornets dont match the Gordon deal. Suns then sign Beasley.
Sessions-Marshall
Gordon- Redd
Beasley- Dudley
Morris-Hill–Frye
Gortat-Lopez- Frye
