The Nate Rumor Returns

Yeah I tried quite a few combos and con’t get a trade too work that we would want!

…that the Celtics at some point today will deny interest in Nate?

This team has always needed a scorer on the second unit. It’s not House. It ends up being Ray or Paul playing extra minutes to give the second unit a weapon. This is a big advantage that Atlanta has with Jamal Crawford. That’s why Ainge is kicking the tires on Robinson.

good ball handler n scorer dont realy need defense off the bench just points, he can be our jamal crawford but better .. this can realy separate us from the rest of the competition sheed n nate off the bench thats a decent starting line up.. if this trade does happen im guessing right b4 the deadline when daniels is coming back.. dunno who we would give up but im guessing tony allen n scal will be in it and either giddens or walker

With a BYC player, three-way trades make it a lot easier. Here’s one:

Knicks send Robinson to Boston, and Jared Jeffries and Jordan Hill to Utah.

Jazz send Carlos Boozer to New York.

Celtics send Brian Scalabrine to Utah.

If the Celts want Robinson, surely they’d be willing to give up Scalabrine for him.

The Knicks would do the trade in a minute, because Boozer is a good player with an expiring contract, and they’d be freed from Jeffries’ contract, and only have to give up two players Mike D’Antoni doesn’t like much.

Utah would probably not do it, even though Boozer is likely gone after the season and is taking away minutes from Paul Millsap. And surely, they don’t want Jeffries, let alone wanting to pay him nearly $7 million next year. But if the Knicks sweeten the deal with cash and a draft pick, it could happen.

Of course, that would basically be a trade between the Knicks and the Jazz, and they really don’t need to involve the Celtics to get it done…
