Raptors Expected To Offer $12M Annually To Nash
Jun 30, 2012 10:55 AM EDT


The Raptors will bring a contingent of five members of the organization to meet with Steve Nash as soon as he's ready on Sunday.

Toronto's offer, likely to reach $12 million per season according to sources, is likely to be the most lucrative.

The Raptors are pushing for a playoff return in the 12-13 season.

"The Raptors would be one of those teams where you're probably not going there to win a championship in the next three years," said Nash. "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."

Fuck just bringing five members of the organization, we need to bring Harper, Bryan Adams, Anne Murray, Gordie Howe and the Queen to try to woo Captain Canada

raps are going to get him. Nash is a career loser who's got it all figured out, its all about the chips. He doesn't give a damn about a rigged ring and if the raps are going to offer a an old white stiff 12mil a year he's gonna take it all day. I would do the excact same thing in his shoes though playing amongst the european crowd would make me vomit

12 million though?? That's a little fucking steep, no? There's no way you can't convince me that Nash wouldn't sign for 10...especially now that it looks like the Suns are trying to get Eric Gordon

nash doesn't like toronto so the extra 2 mil is to lure him from his home country. Its extremly steep and if it happens hopefully only 2 years max. I actually think the nba would milk this for a while if it happend. Canadians don't buy much merchandise but nash would get the 50 year olds watching raptors basketball and buying nba doorags
