Showtime Part II as Nash heads for LA

TWO-TIME NBA MVP Steve Nash is joining the Los Angeles Lakers after a sign-and-trade deal with the Phoenix Suns.

Multiple web-based sports news outfits reported that the Suns will be trading the 38-year-old Nash to the Lakers for future draft picks.

The deal will only be official on July 11 at the end of a league-wide moratorium on new business.

With the development, Nash, who won the NBA MVP in 2005 and 2006, will be joining Kobe Bryant in his bid to capture his first-ever NBA crown.
