Bill Duffy, the agent for free-agent Steve Nash, said that his client would consider signing with the Suns, which drafted him in 1996.

Referring to the fact that the Sunds traded Nash once already, Duffy said, "I think it still would be a good fit."

The Suns sent Nash to Dallas, where he became an All-Star, for the draft pick that became Shawn Marion.

The Suns could be a fallback option for Nash, whose parents live in the Phoenix area.  He would prefer to stay in Dallas.  "But it's got to be reciprocal,? Duffy said.  "They've got to want him back."

Also, a source close to Mehmet Okur confirmed the player's interest in the Suns.

Okur, 25, is a 6-foot-11, 250-pound forward/center from Turkey who averaged 9.6 points and 5.9 rebounds in the regular season in 22 minutes per game.
