Smart move by Mat Ishbia. I could see Steve Nash becoming the Suns GM down the road.

Hopefully he can talk some sense into some of these decision makers

Steve Nash to be Suns senior advisor ahead of 2025-26 season

Former Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash will be joining his former team as a senior advisor ahead of the 2025-26 season, Suns owner Mat Ishbia said.

My theory: Ishbia is quietly keeping Nash in the wings to replace either the coach or the GM if one of them doesn't work out.

Almost certainly. I would love him as the GM.

Either way, this hiring is my favorite move of the offseason so far.

And why would that be? Oh...because they clashed on the Nets?

I have no clue if Steve Nash is front office material. I think this is more of a PR move considering the struggles the team is about to face but I am fine with it. Having Nash even here, even if more of a PR stunt, is not necessarily a bad thing.

That’s all Ishbia did when he came along, pr moves. He blinded us with big moves, ring of honor celebrations, and free televised games.

Solid PR move to distract the fans from the on-court product.

Steve Nash's job with Suns might be more than nostalgic add

Steve Nash's hire as Phoenix Suns senior advisor might be more than a symbolic addition for a team looking to develop a culture.

I'm honestly surprised Nash's coaching career hasn't worked out (so far). He always seemed to me to have the acumen for that. I didn't follow him closely enough with the Nets to really have an idea if his failure there was due to shortcomings on his part or all the idiots on their roster.

I always thought he had GM qualities.

Nash to me was an instinct type player verses an X's an O's execution type player. He seemed to be at his best when improvising verses following set plays all the time. Maybe that's why it hasn't translated that well to coach so far. I would be shocked if he doesn't take another shot at it though.

His vision and IQ are just things that can't be taught on how he sees the game.

This is my thought as well, that Nash has GM qualities.

I wonder if Nash is one of the guys mending the relationships between the Suns and former players. Seeing all the ex-Suns at the opener was cool. It was always weird how Sarver turned a cold shoulder to even those who were here during his tenure. The Suns may not have banners but they do have a collection of legends here that helps them stand above other ring-less teams.
