Why Nate hasn't gotten any offers

The scout also had this to say about Nate Robinson, which is why he isn’t surprised the restricted free agent guard hasn’t received a contract offer.

“…If he (Nate) isn’t the most disliked player in the league, he’s certainly right up there. Every player I know can’t stand him.”

That is pretty interesting to me. I personally would love to have him on our team if he would take the BAE, I think we have the personalities to keep him under control in LeBron and Shaq and Mo. Plus he would make Boobie even more expendable.

Why would we want Nate? He's not a spot up shooter or a distributing PG. He is basically a smaller and worse version of Allen Iverson with better hops.

We are trying to get bigger. I see no use in picking up a 5 feet player with a temper problem.

 

[GilbertForPres]

He seems like he is a pretty cocky guy, so I bet he is asking for like $8-9 mill a year too, which hurts him. That said I don't want him anywhere near this team.

Shooter, mad hops, above average distributor imo. Character problems, no thanks.

They call it "short man's disease" for a reason...there isn't a cure.

HAHA yeah i didn't think many would like the idea of getting him. I'm just really bored right now and thought i'd throw that out there so we had SOMETHING, ANYTHING to talk about other than nothing. I understand exactly why a lot of people wouldn't want him, but I think he could be controlled in a winning situation, and he also would become a great trade piece because what we would be signing him for would have to be the BAE. A package with Nate in it looks a lot more attractive than a package with Boobie.

If we can offer him BAE than ya I would take him. He is a scoring punch off the bench and he has got MAD hops. At least he can shoot threes. I know him and LeBron are great friends so he won't be a problem here. If NY doesn't offer him and decide to go after J Will and Sessions and europe is his only offer I bet he would take the BAE here in the NBA on a good team for a year. He is a talent.

There's just no way a 25 year old that scored 17 a game last year is signing for the BAE.

I agree, but what I am saying is that is the only way that we could get him. Guaranteed that the Knicks will not do a S&T with us. So the only way we get Nate is if it is for the BAE and IMO that is the type of signing that would put us as the favourites for certain. Plus like I said earlier would make our trade packages a lot better for certain players.

Why is he so disliked? I love that kid's game. He wouldn't be a good fit for the Cavs at all but he's a fun player to watch.

 

[Walter White]

If we could seriously steal him that would be a GREAT pick up. He is a great scoring punch at the PG off the bench and that is exactly what we need. He is a fan favorite too with him dunking. I have watched him play and believe it or not he is a pretty good passer. The thing that always sells me on wanting him is imagining him on another good team Maybe Lebron can talk to him.

Great friends?


Nate is "I like to fight" guy. He has challenged every teammate and member of the Knicks organization to a fight at some point in time. He's a little ball of hate and very disruptive. I wouldnt want that hardass on our team for the minimum.

I think he will end up in Europe.

So basically, he's a shorter blacker version of me?

Isn't he a restricted free agent and the Knicks would obviously match. Dumb post.
