08:09 AM ET 08.09 | While some wonder about how the combination of Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant will coexist with the Los Angeles Lakers, it seems Nash is far more optimistic. Nash joined Burns and Gambo on KTAR in Phoenix to discuss the end of his time in Phoenix, his move to Los Angeles, and his overall experience as a free agent. ... On the role Kobe Bryant played in the process: "Well it definitely needed his blessing. I primarily did this for the kids, and then a great byproduct is that I get to play for a contender. ... It was great that he signed off and he was so enthusiastic about it and positive. You could feel it. He was genuine and excited, and that kind of sealed the deal."

Lakers will have no trouble have Nash guarding Westbrook and Parker.

Are you a parrot? 'Cause that's what I've been hearing this entire time.

None of the names that you've mentioned can guard Steve Nash at the other end of the court. So what's was your point?
