Suns general manager Steve Kerr is optimistic that the club will be able to sign Steve Nash to a contract extension.

Kerr said that he planned to meet with Nash in Las Vegas this week. Phoenix owner Robert Sarver was expected to attend the meeting as well.

"We've kind of put the ball in their court, and we'll see how the next meeting goes," Kerr said. "I feel confident, but it has to actually happen before we can celebrate."
