Steve Nash in talks to be a part-time consultant for Warriors
Two-time MVP Steve Nash is in advanced negotiations to join the Golden State Warriors as a part-time player development consultant, according to league sources.
Nash has been lobbied aggressively by Warriors coach Steve Kerr and team president Rick Welts to spend a few days per month with the team to work on skills with individual players.
The parties are in the process of finalizing a deal that essentially will make Nash an occasional tutor to the Golden State guards. Kerr, Welts and current Warriors player development coach Bruce Fraser — all of whom worked closely with the 41-year-old Nash when he was playing in Phoenix — are among Nash’s closest friends in the league and ultimately persuaded him to consider joining the NBA reigning champions as a part-timer.

Fractured nose won’t stop Nash
Steve Nash has a small nasal fracture but says he doesn’t expect it to be a problem for him in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.
The Phoenix playmaker was hurt in a fourth-quarter collision with Derek Fisher in the Suns’ 118-109 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night.
He spoke briefly with reporters after practice on Monday before leaving to have the nose put back in place by a specialist. The official diagnosis was a “minimally displaced nasal fracture with displaced cartilage.”
Nash played the fourth quarter of Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals with his right eye swollen shut after taking an inadvertent elbow from San Antonio’s Tim Duncan.
