Rumor: Celtics Have Made Offer For Nate

A real sixth-man.

Would love to have him. We need someone who can create his own shot and bring energy off the bench, so he would be perfect!

Well so much for my theory that the Celtics would deny their interest in Nate. Marc Spears said a week ago that the C’s had interest, now this?

Thing is…do the Knicks do this?

Since Nate is a BYC player another team would probably have to be involved…

I guess an expiring+ a pick would be enough…

I think Nate would fit in well here. We need someone who can score, which he can.

I just don’t see how we do anything with NY that makes sense for us without adding a third team. Seeing as Nate is BYC, and I suspect Jeffries would come attached to Nate, we can make it work, but it’d get pretty convoluted to make it happen. Here’s one that works:

Scal, TA, Baby, House -for- Nate, Chandler and Jeffries. Leaves us woefully thin at backup 2. Much as Eddie is limited, he can shoot the eyes out of it when he’s on. Plus, getting rid of both Scal and Baby leaves us a little thin for bigs too, although Jeffries is sort of similar to Scal. As I see it, a deal bringing Nate in has to involve a third team to make sense for all concerned.

i mean, if it costs us little, why not, but i don’t think nate robinson is really worth trading much.

He’s a BYC player and a one year rental (no Bird rights).

This is tempting, especially given the lack of energy off the bench last night. Still think we miss Leon’s heart and toughness on those nights. Love Krytonate’s scoring and energy but this makes our backcourt alot smaller. Daniels would need to come back and contribute the way he was before the injury for this to work.

Not sure why the Knicks would give him up either. He’s a key contributor in their rotation, the Knicks are real close to a playoff spot and he’s an expiring contract anyway.

I think the knicks are getting tired of him.. overal attitude, etc.. i dont think the knicks will move him with out including jeffries or curry or hughes. so a jeffries and nate for TA, sca, house may work.. only if they are willing to get nothing in return.

but becoming concerned with the overall lack of passion on the team as a whole and with backcourt scoring off the bench.

from a talent perspective, I’d be tempted to swap him for House straight up. I know that won’t work money-wise but House’s spot is where Nate would be slotted to play.

First I’m alive to see MASSACHUSETTS elect a R Senator for the soul purpose of undoing what Ted Kennedy worked half a century to create…

and now NATE may be a Celtic? The perfect 6th man, a guy who shoots damn near as good as E House but can actually create and handle the ball??

To quote the late great Dr. MLK:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!!!

Bring on J Jeffries. Seriously. I’ve owned him on my CSL fantasy team for about 2 weeks, only 2% owned at the time… yes i’m ahead of my time. Nut from NH walks to the beat of his own drum.

Jefferies is a better version of Quisi, albiet over paid.

1.5 steals per, 1.5 blocks per, very good rebounder, true energizer type player… not the bs “energy” crap people have been trying to say about Scal for the last half decade… Jefferies actually makes a DIFFERENCE with his energy.

Nate may affect our “defense”? What defense?

Will he be an even bigger liability in D than House?

House for Nate straight up?

a shot in the arm is what this team needs now, coz it seems like the team became stale (players’ game and coaching), an energy guy like nate could be just that.

I’ll take him. Just don’t play him with House unless we are playing a really Golden State.

The guy can score. I think he has a great bench scorer game. If he is playing with TA and Daniels, he doesn’t need to be a defensive stopper. Just quick enough feet to stay in front of guys and to rotate.

The Cavs talk about getting Jamison, Murphy, Randolph, etc. Wizards may move Caron Butler. The Lakers and Mavericks are on the trail of Chis Bosh. The Celtics are looking at an undersized, defensive liability, not to mention punk like Nate Robinson/ Seems like we’re aiming a little low.

The Celtics aren’t winning anything this year anyway

It would be lovely to fantasize about Jamison, Butler, Bosh, etc., but the reality is those scenarios ain’t happening. We don’t have the serious young talent it would take to get one of those deals to work for the other team. The only major trade possible would be moving Ray Allen’s contract and even then we may end up being disappointed in what would be offered back. Like it or not, we have to live with the reality of Robinson, Chandler, Jeffries, etc., being the trade world we live in.

you can’t play 2 undersized shooting guards so eddie would have to go. I gotta believe that tony allen is also in this deal if it happens. no way the knicks trade chandler. maybe giddens or walker go as well but I think danny hangs onto scal to use in possibly another deal or keep as insurance. Honestly is there much difference between Shelden and Baby at this stage? You could make the argument that shelden is actually more valuable to us right now. as for giddens and walker we’ll never know if they can play since doc won’t play them

Adding Nate Robinson does not make sense from a basketball sense in any way. Especially considering we have to give something up to get him.

Robinson simply is NOT going to provide significantly more value (if any) in 12 minutes of play off the bench than our current PG backup options (Eddie, TA & Daniels when he gets back). Arguably he is worse overall than any of those guys because he is so bad on defense.

There is no way this would make any sense.

No. Freakin’. Way.
