According to Eddie Sefko from the Dallas Morning News almost everybody talked about Michael Finley in the past tense Monday. But a certain former teammate was more than willing to present a here-and-now offer that may be tempting when Finley officially becomes an ex-Maverick, likely later this week.

Steve Nash said Finley would be a "great fit" for the Phoenix Suns, creating the possibility that two-third of the Mavericks' former Big Three could end up together again.

"It is strange to think of Mike not playing for Dallas," Nash said. "I think it would be a great fit for us. It would make us such a deep team."

A good portion of the NBA family was on hand at Finley's charity tournament at the Trophy Club benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Finley's agent, Henry Thomas, said more than 10 teams have shown an interest in acquiring Finley, were he to be waived by the Mavericks under terms of the amnesty clause in the new collective-bargaining agreement. Doing so would save owner Mark Cuban perhaps $51 million in luxury taxes over the next three seasons.

"If it happens, it happens," Finley said. "If it doesn't, it doesn't. I'm fine. I don't lose sleep over it. My life goes on. It's a business."
