Nash will miss the entire 2014-15 with an ongoing nerve problem in his back. Nash, who is 40 years old, was acquired by the Los Angeles Lakers back in the summer of 2012 in a sign-and-trade with the Phoenix Suns. L.A. gave up a lot to get Nash. They traded away their 2013 and 2015 first-round draft picks, while also giving up second-round picks in 2014 and 2015. The 2015 first-round pick is top-five protected, which means that if the Lakers don’t get a top-five pick, they will lose that pick to the Suns.
