Yes he's nearing 59 years old but the man can still play ball. For those who only look at the boxscore or don't like his playstyle, this is a very nice mixup of Nash:

He'll bring leadership on/off the court (especially valuable to egocentric young stars). Open up tons of real estate as he'll command a lot of double teams from his shooting alone. Make borderline all stars out of average players by overachieving them. Send nightly highlights with some sick passing game. Perhaps even finally get a ring before he retires in a few years.
Where he'll go: Chicago. Rose injury is a game breaker, bringing Nash in will help the Bulls in the long run as they won't need to rush Rose back too quickly. They can still contend this year, Boozer will wet his pants when they announce the Nash signing. The heavy team defense of Chicago will alleviate Nash's alleged porous defense and really help the team get some good offense going. When Rose comes back late in the year, they can easily have him play as a SG.
Where he should go: Indiana. If there's any team that has a stack of young studs that needs a vet to push them into potential contention debate it's this team. Yes it's a small market team, yes he's go no ties there but in terms of basketball, it would be amazing to see Nash with the current Pacer squad.
Where I hope he goes: Toronto. Yep a homer pick but not without legs. Nash has repeatedly said that getting a ring isn't the end all be all (I don't think it's just PR). So if we take contender out of the equation, Toronto is in a unique position to lure him in. First BC is going through a contract year, and nothing says contract extension than bringing in a national icon that will print money for the owners. Second, the Raps actually will be watchable with last year's lotto and this year's lotto pick. They're also at the point where some of their young potentials are due for a pay day. Nash will show if those players deserve a contract or needs to be shipped. Toronto is also probably where he'll get the most money offered (along with endorsements).
I personally don't believe Nash will end up in : Miami/Lakers/Dallas. Miami because he'd be a glorified spot up shooter and Nash has said in the past he likes competing against the best not riding shotgun with them. Lakers because let's be honest, despite all the friendly smiles Kobe and Nash are cut from the same old school mentality of don't join the enemy. Too much Bad blood there. Dallas because they're gunning for D will, Nash wants respect more than money and I don't think he still got quite over Cuban bending him over. Besides they already have Kidd there.
