Steve Nash is still on the Los Angeles Lakers, and it's likely he remains in a purple-and-gold uniform throughout the 2014-15 campaign.

In fact, he may even be a starter.

Per the Los Angeles Daily News' Mark Medina, head coach Byron Scott currently has Nash working into the depth chart as a first-string point guard, suiting up alongside Kobe Bryant, Wesley Johnson, Carlos Boozer and Jordan Hill at the start of games.

It's hard to imagine the aging point guard getting more playing time in a different location, but that isn't necessarily what should be most important to him at this stage of his career.

In a perfect world, Nash would finish up the NBA portion of his life in a different locale.

Even though he's been on the Lakers for two seasons prior to this one, it still doesn't feel as though he belongs in the organization. Injuries have just prevented him from gaining too much momentum, and it's tough to picture this aged version of the former MVP over the offensively dynamic one of the past.

Even if he rebounds nicely during the 2014-15 season, thriving with the Lakers for the first time, there are still five destinations that—for various reasons we'll get to in the coming slides—stand out as better locations.
