Jesse The Body Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 (Nate) Robinson won’t command nearly as much in salary, but his popularity as an electrifying 5-9 guard and two-time Slam Dunk champion could be valuable as an attraction in some small markets. According to one league source, the Lakers inquired about Robinson’s availability after his 33-point performance at the Staples Center on Dec. 16. Kobe Bryant has expressed adoration for Robinson and owner Jerry Buss was said to be smitten after that game. The Sacramento Kings also were close to a deal for Robinson and Jeffries before the trade deadline and there are indications that the deal could still take place this summer. Robinson had a breakthrough season statistically – career-high 17.2 points per game – but his ball-dominating, one-on-one mentality does not fit well in Mike D’Antoni’s system. The Knicks drafted a rugged point guard, Toney Douglas, the 29th overall pick on Thursday and are also in the market for a starting point guard with the plan to move Chris Duhon to a backup role this season.

The Next Knick Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Please don't LA, you got your young point guards, let us have Nate. He keeps a little hope alive in NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Goods Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I would love to see this happen. Nate Robinson can give us a spark that we lack at the PG position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmelamare Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Oh god no, that would make the Lakers repeat champs, don't do it Knicks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDevil Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Nah, the knicks should try to sign and trade him. But not to the Lakers, they dont need any more good players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great iBoldin Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I sincerely don't see what people see in Nate. Great, what he's done is cool, but I could care less when his team was as dismal as it was last year. He's a glorified scoring guard, and those come a dime a dozen. I would pass, because he has very little qualities other then scoring, and perhaps handling the ball a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse The Body Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I wish we can sign and trade him to L.A. for Trevor Ariza. Do you guys think L.A. would do that straight up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JYD Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Please don't LA, you got your young point guards, let us have Nate. He keeps a little hope alive in NY.Nah man, Nate is a nice spark plug to our team, but he's certainly replacable. Getting rid of him for something we need more (like a pure shooter, or a pure passing STARTING pg) would be far more valuable to the future of our franchise. I think we should sign and trade him to someone for something valuable.I agree. Like a starting caliber, pass-first PG or a pure shooter. I sincerely don't see what people see in Nate. Great, what he's done is cool, but I could care less when his team was as dismal as it was last year. He's a glorified scoring guard, and those come a dime a dozen. I would pass, because he has very little qualities other then scoring, and perhaps handling the ball a little.I agree. He's a spark plug to any team off the bench. "Instant offense" you could say. But, like you said, he really doesn't do much more than that. Look, he's a fun player to watch and I've enjoyed him the past few seasons for my favorite team when things haven't been going to well in the win column, but he just isn't as great as people make him out to be. I wish we can sign and trade him to L.A. for Trevor Ariza. Do you guys think L.A. would do that straight up?Probably not, sadly. What I do wish is we never got rid of Ariza.
