Nash may retire due to injuries

Steve Nash is giving serious thought to medical retirement as he continues to battle chronic back issues.

If Nash is given a medical retirement, he would receive the full amount owed to him by the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Lakers, meanwhile, would have Nash's entire $9.701 million contract for next season come off their cap. If Nash isn't traded or becomes a medical retirement, the Lakers could use their stretch provision to waive him and have his cap number be allocated over the following three seasons.

Would hate to see him leave without getting a chance at a ring.

I think he has had like 20 chances?

I just read this headline on TMZPN that said he eyes come back not retirement, did not read article

I really like Steve Nash and I really don't believe he is going to retire before June of next year, but I hope he does. That 9.1 million is too much freakin money to pay for an aging grandpa in the NBA. I have complete respect for what he has brought to the game over the years though and would love to see him come back into the Lakers organization in a coaching function or something though. He has a lot to offer to the NBA in other ways
