Bradford Doolittle of Basketball Prospectus, writing for ESPN Insider, suggests that the Portland Trail Blazers would be one of several "good fits" for Steve Nash this offseason (placing Portland in the same category as the L*kers, Nets, Magic, and Raptors).
---------------------------------
"The Blazers have a chance to be major players in the offseason, with an exceptional core player in LaMarcus Aldridge, a solid running mate in restricted free agent Nicolas Batum and plenty of financial flexibility. What the Blazers don't have is a permanent general manager or much certainty about who they could surround a core of Aldridge, Batum and Nash with. Portland could possibly win Nash over on dollars and cultural fit. Rip City is definitely Nash's kind of town."
---------------------------------
Doolittle pegs the Mavericks and Knicks as "better fits" for Nash's services, with the Heat seen as the "best fit" for the aging yet still dominant point guard.
