Maybe as an assistant coach.
Maybe ...
Suns have been lacking something in that regard since Willie Green departed.

I’d hope Ishbia left that up to Monty…I assume it would just be more of a front office role or consultant role. Really it would be a PR move

I’m all about bringing Nash back in some capacity.
It seems pretty clear that Sarver really took to making the suns his own toy once Nash was out of the way and we saw how that played out. If I owned the Suns I would be thinking of how to win a championship and acknowledge the identity and nostalgia that has been lost for fans over the past 30 years. Ishbia would be right to connect with Nash and his era of players and help integrate for us fans. Sarver left us with nearly zero players to pine for since Nash left.
I don’t know if I see Nash as a good coach or not. I wonder if he’d be good for player relations and front office too.

Marion and Amare need to be in the ROH too

Steve Nash, Walter Davis, Shawn Marion, Amare Stoudemire, Jeff Hornacek, Jason Kidd, Charles Barkley, Dan Majerle, Larry Nance, Kevin Johnson, Mike D'Antoni, Jerry Colangelo, Dick Van Arsdale, Charlie Scott - All former Suns greats that they need to reconnect with in one way or another (despite the missteps some have made over the years). Eddie Johnson, Tom Chambers and Alvan Adams are about the only ones from the Colangelo days who are still involved with the team.

Jason Kidd is currently the head coach of the team that owns us; plus I don't think you can forget how he conducted himself after the trade.
It's hard to reconnect with Kevin Johnson when he has never been held accountable for his off the court indiscretions. I just don't know if that would be a good look.

Juse, there's varying levels of how much you want them involved, but I think we can all agree that Sarver has pretty much ignored the historical successes of the team - probably because it didn't include Robert Sarver

Also, Charles Barkley and Paul Westphal also had very contentous seperations with the team as players and the they eventually mended the fences with the team.

Jordan Nwora would be a solid addition. It's not a great deal, but everyone is overestimating Jae Crowder's trade value.
He's the only one I don't know anything about.

I'd trust Nwora more than White for the remainder of this season. Much like Hachimura, I'm wouldn't get excited about the addition, but at least he's been around and contributed to a winning team unlike White or Hachimura.

That Bucks trade proposal is garbage. Why we should help them win a title while taking complete garbage off their hands is beyond me. None of those players will play for us in the playoffs. I'd literally rather just let Crowder rot at home until summer than take that crap.

Younger Chris Paul would be embarrassed about being recognized for getting 4 double-doubles in a row. I bet he did that all the time up until a few years ago.

3 times last year, including one where he had 5 in a row.

OK, clearly you just hate Coby White. Nwora has never been a consistent part of the Bucks rotation except when they have been hit with injuries to Middleton. His highest scoring average is 7.9 ppg.
White scored 12.7 ppg for a playoff team last year.

I don't hate him. I just think some people are leaning too much into his draft evaluation and position.
The Bulls won 46 games and 1 playoff game, com'on.
