Blazers GM John Nash is preparing for the NBA Draft, which coincidentally is two days before his current contract is up.

Team President Steve Patterson has said little about Nash?s status with the team.

?We will sit down and do all our evaluations of everyone after the end of the season (April 19), as we always do,? Patterson says.

Nash says he has had no discussions with Patterson or owner Paul Allen about his future with the team.
 
?It?s premature,? Nash says. ?I?ll do that when we get near the end of the term. Right now, we?re still in the throes of the season and preparing for the draft.?
