The Great One is part of the team trying to woo Captain Canada to Canada today.

Steve Nash meets with the Raptors this morning. Toronto is confident heading into the meeting. They believe they can sign the Canadian PG.

Eric Koreen ?@ekoreen
And from what I've heard, the initial offer to Nash is 3 for 30-mil

lol No one is going to offer Nash that

Lol... The Raps Owners will make the 30M back in the first year if he signs.

HOw?

We're talking about Captain Canada here. Way more ticket sales.

Nash would also make about 5 million more here just from endorsements than anywhere else.

Arent the raps still close to sell out anyways?

Not at all. Their midseason attendance is pretty bad.

I am not oppose to bringing him here, just as long as people understand that he doesnt necessarily make them better by a lot. Yea, i guess there is money to be made

Nash would be the highest profile signing in Toronto sports history, this is a big deal.

I definitely think it'll make the Raptors much better. They have enough athleticism to run the system he's thrived in for the past decade with the Suns. And just think of the PR stuff this would generate.

"Nash would be the highest profile signing in Toronto sports history, this is a big deal"

ummm no. Roger Clemens was.

I'd probably actually watch the first few games of the season if Nash signed

Then I'd realized how my feelings towards basketball have soured

And then I'd stop watching

Raps still meeting w/Steve Nash in NYC as we speak. Also: Told Raps already trying to trade Calderon so amnesty not needed on expiring deal

Excellent.

I met Nash in Ottawa on Canada Day in 2000. He's an all around cool dude.

I think that's just about everyone's opinion of him. Pretty much the most likeable athlete ever.
