The guy's a phony for wanting to be closer to his family. I've heard it all now.

Phone transcripts leaked:

Nash: Hello! This is Steve Nash! Every day is a rainb-

Kobe: -Steve, it’s Kobe Bryant

Nash: Kobe!? Hey, good to hear from you. Remember in 2010 when you basically single-handedly eliminated us in the Conference Finals?

Kobe: Of course I remember it I just watched a tape of it. You deserved it for 2006. Listen, Stevey that’s not why I’m calling.

Nash: But you call every year on the 4th of July to rub it in!

Kobe: Is it the 4th already? I have been in a synthetically engineered human-sized regenerative cocoon. No, the reason I’m calling is I want you to come play in Los Angeles for Kobe Bryant and The Lakers.

Nash: Me?! Play for The Lakers?

Kobe: Kobe Bryant and The Lakers. Yes. You could win your first title, and I could win my sixth

Nash: I don’t know. I have a pretty sweet offer from Toronto on the table.

Kobe: The same Toronto that is about to pay Landry Fields 20 million over three years?

Nash: But I’m Canadian-

Kobe: -That reminds me, I usually call Jay Triano every Canada Day and remind him of the 81 point game.

Nash: YOU MONSTER!

Kobe: He looked at me once

Nash: New York could be OK.

Kobe: Stay focused Stevey. You want that ring right?

Nash: I do want to validate all my hard work and effort to set a good example for the children. What’s Mike Brown like?

Kobe: Mike who?

Nash: Okay….. Is Pau going to stay? Will Ron hurt me?

Kobe: You don’t need to worry about any of that. Me and you will take 60 shots a game. As long as we have a healthy Bynum and three other warm bodies we can run with pretty much anyone in the league. If your back holds up we could take a run at two or three titles and I could go down as the greatest of all time and I could also go down as the guy who saved the career of Steve Nash.

Nash: Well I do like helping people!

Kobe: That’s what I was counting on.

Nash: Hey Kobe? Tell me something. Does your cryogenic pod guy have time in late August? My guy booked solid all Summer with Peyton.

Kobe: I’ll ask. See you in Germany at the clinic?

Nash: You know it. Every Wednesday.

Kobe: Okay Stevey we will see you soon. And remember, if you don’t come to LA I will find more ways to steal your happiness.

Nash: I know Kobe. I know. Hey, Kobe? Can I ask you one more thing?

Kobe: Make it quick. I gotta go Steve, I’m shooting another hilarious commercial in a desperate attempt to be likable.

Nash: What’s winning a championship like?

Kobe: You can tell me next June.

Nash's agent, Bill Duffy, confirmed reports that Nash agreed to join the Lakers for a deal that will be worth three years and approximately $27 million while his former team, Phoenix, will receive two future first-round picks, two future second-round picks and $3 million in cash.

None of the articles mention protection for the picks, so I'm going to assume they're unprotected.

LOL everyone on the Toronto Raptors board are enraged by this.

Nets fans piling on now.

I can just picture nash knocking down all those open shots that sessions missed.

Yeah, one thread was even about voting Nash off Team Canada in the Olympics.

But I'd be enraged if I were a Raps fan too, they offered Fields a big contract in hopes of the Knicks matching it and rendering themselves out of the Nash race. Now they're stuck with overpaying Fields and don't have Nash. That's gotta suck.

Haven't you heard? Apparently according to the GB, Nash isn't that much of an improvement to Sessions. And we'll still get beat in 5 games by OKC.

Nash is now the anti-christ according to the GB/Raps board/Celtics fans. That is all.
