Is Nate Robinson a good fit for the Cavs?
Didn't get to see the last of him in Denver or Clippers but he was decent with the Bulls, performs well during the playoffs (to his standards) and the guy is kind of clutch (someone remember 2010 Finals?) Just recently saw this quote.
“Yeah, I don’t understand why they wouldn’t hit me up. I don’t know why they don’t like me, man. I’m the most hated,” Robinson said.
Thoughts?

Re: Is Nate Robinson a good fit for the Cavs?
I still remember this game, like it was yesterday... Joe Johnson and Nate going back and forth at the end was classic.
Tbh I don't know he hasn't played official game since May tho. But I don't think he is that playmaker who Cavs need, he has 3 assists per game in his NBA long career, for PG that's not a lot.
Celtics fan.
We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

When this account gets more "And1"s than posts written ...then my life will be complete. And maybe it will be the right time to hang it up. (Achieved on 2017-2018 season)...but still here.

Re: Is Nate Robinson a good fit for the Cavs?
Definitely not. The Cavaliers have plenty of scoring on their second unit, but nobody there can create shot opportunities. They need somebody to facilitate the ball to Korver/Frye/etc, and ideally that somebody can also shoot the 3-ball and defend. They don't need a volume shooter who can't defend. He is also 32 and hasn't been good since he was 28 and on the Bulls. I doubt that Robinson, at this point, is any better than Kay Felder, the Cavaliers' rookie, short, uber-athletic point guard.
Mario Chalmers makes the most sense to me, if he is healthy that is.

There's a reason Nate Robinson is no longer in the league. 2013-14 was the last time he put up passable NBA numbers.
Chalmers is a guy the Cavs could actually use.

He's a 5'9, mid 30's pg, whos primary asset was his athleticism, and had knee work. They already have an undersized pg in Felder, who has more potential.
Theyd be better off waiting on Mario Chalmers to finish rehabbing and see what he has left in the tank

He's basically an older wiser Felder. But he is NOT they need. They're better off with a good no-namer like Spencer Dinwiddie. A guy who'd get the job done and plays hard nosed defense.

More like worst fit possible.
Though, I'd love to see a Felder, Robinson backcourt during garbage time.

He might be a decent fit for the Canton Charge.

He was never good. Just a ballhogging chucker.
He wasn't even a good dunker. He was a novelty because he was so small and could get above the rim. I thought he was the most irritating player to watch in the NBA. Now it's Brandon Jennings for me.

Injuries did him in. I liked his scoring threat with Chicago, he played decent there.
