Four years after Steve Nash went No. 15 overall to the Phoenix Suns in the 1996 NBA Draft, Jamal Crawford was selected No. 8 overall in the 2000 NBA Draft by the Chicago Bulls.
While the two guards crossed paths plenty of times over the years, Nash and Crawford never played on the same team — though, like the Hall of Fame point guard, Crawford also dawned a Phoenix Suns uniform.
With the Brooklyn Nets hiring Steve Nash as their new head coach on Thursday, the opportunity is finally there for he and Crawford to work together.
It appears that’s something the Nets front office wants to see come to fruition.
According to Marc Spears of The Undefeated, the Nets are “expected to re-sign” Crawford.
Due to a hamstring injury, the veteran guard was only able to log six minutes in a Nets uniform inside the Disney bubble after signing with the team ahead of the restart as a substitute player.
