Does Steve Nash deserve MVP consideration?

Robinson's healthy enough to play.

I don't believe he makes his teammates better

I'll disagree with that.  Guys like Korver, Kenny, Corliss, Jackson, Dalembert (guys who can hit a shot or finish).  Korver and Dalembert in particularly are practically worthless if they don't get setup.

But you can't be an MVP on a losing team.  No ifs, ands or buts.  But AI is having his best year since the MVP season, no doubt.

No.  The Suns have so much talent at the other postions that any decent point would look like an all-star based on all the easy assists passed to open players on the perimiter.  

That's not to say that Nash doesn't to a great job and wasn't a good addition, but the Suns need a solid backup point and who ever it is doesn't have to be a great player, just a solid dribbler with good court sense.

I mean, with targets like Stoudemire and Marion and Richardson all you really need is a a guy to get them the ball, wouldn't even need to score much.

Ah yes the "MVP" award.  
Nash is playing great.  But just as PHX is lost without him, where would PHX be without A Stoudamire?
