Meanwhile, several NBA personnel executives have confirmed that the (Steve) Nash-to-Toronto rumors may have real traction.

“I’ve been hearing that from people that would know,” said one Western Conference sharpie, sounding very much like the rest of us. “The Raptors may not be ready to win right away, but with (Andrea) Bargnani, (DeMar) DeRozan and maybe (Jonas) Valanciunas coming over next season, they could be pretty decent right away with Nash. And they could have enough cap space to get something done there.”
