I like this. He is our JLIII replacement, but a lot better.

One of my least favorite NBA players of all time.

I'm going to have to sit and take this one

We pretty much discussed the past 5 days how Nate Robinson was the "best fit".

- Veteran PG
- Can score in surges
- Defensive liability but only going to be used for limited minutes
- We need scoring badly

Was either Nate Robinson or Derek Fisher. Just not many options left.

That picture looks like a bunch of junior high kids. :rofl:

If this gets confirmed, boogy, it'll be your crowning glory moment of by-the-second breaking news.

Seriously, though, just who is Steve-Oh and how old is he?

Need-wise I can't deny Nate fits us. He's a better fit than Fisher. We'll need scoring.

I just hate that whenever he's in there, it will be an opportunity for good teams to absolutely murder us off switches. Good teams can definitely game plan with Nate on defense.

Kinda crazy that those kids are his size. Just puts stuff like him winning the dunk contest or blocking Yao Ming into perspective.

So a kid says he had breakfast with Robinson and Robinson told the kid he was coming here.

boogy, how the hell did you find this?

This will be either boogy's 10 foot marlin or his waterloo

If this is true, I'm pretty happy with this signing, his game will fit in well as a backup PG who can attack offensively.

All eyes on boogy... The fate of a nation rests in the balance (Bulls Nation).

Seriously though - I'd love to bring Nate here.

Actually credit to RalphBB for reporting it a few days ago that the Bulls were talking to Nate Robinson. We all speculated but he was the one to openly came out and said they spoke with him late last week.

BullRosed · Post #14 » by **BullRosed** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 9:01 pm

well he did take a pic, its not like he just said it, the only reason we are listening is because of the picture, but it can be true.

whatever he is, he has heart, brings intensity every night, and wants to win, and is not afraid to put the ball on the floor and challenge who ever is in front of him.

he can score and ball handle, he can fit well, and is a upgrade from JL3

PistolP · Post #15 » by **PistolP** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 9:02 pm

I like the signing if true. Seems like we'll have two different styles to hit teams with next year. Grind it out in the half court with the first unit, then run n gun with 2nd unit.

Jo Jo English · Post #16 » by **Jo Jo English** » Mon Jul 30, 2012 9:02 pm

Seems like he'd be a good fit here. The Bulls could use a athletic veteran backup PG who can score in bunches.

Yeah why in the hell would Boogy get credit for this, It's me all me :lol:

I kid I kid

This is the guy i said i wanted as the backup point until Derrick gets back. He will bring a spark off the bench that THIS team will need badly. I hope its true.

That would be your second one for the off-season? You talked about Korver to ATL before it was reported by KC right?

Who ever doubts you again should get smacked :lol:

Eh, we could use a guy like him.

John Lucas + hops!

And actually he has some upside to be a pretty good 6th man, if we get one of his better years.
