Nate Robinson should be available
D'antoni benched him for the 4th straight game yesterday. There is no doubt in my mind he is available. Why keep the guy if your not going to play him, and he aint no scrub. Nate averaged 17PPG off the bench last year, and he would be the perfect guy to come off our bench are fire away. Weems/O'bryant/Wright/Pops can be used as trade bait in exchange for Nate. And if it doesnt work out, he is a free-agent this off-season, so the Raptors really have nothing to lose. Throw in a couple of 2nd round picks if necessary to sweeten the deal. Thoughts?

In the 4 games Nate has been benched the Knicks are 3-1 so dont look for any playoff team to be giving up assets for Nate.

Re: Nate Robinson should be available
Okay so you are proposing that we have a team comprised of
1. A 7" PF/C who shoots 3's
2. A 6'3" Guard who can't guard
And you want the 3rd point on the bulletin to be a guy who is probably the biggest cancer in the league who shoots the ball at his own net when he knows his team has won the game? A guy who acts like he is on a max contract but is on a 1 year deal?
I would pass on Nate Robinson even if he was 7 ft tall and could rebound.

Well he does have a no trade clause right? And he'd lose his bird rights if he was traded?
That being said, I guess he'd rather be traded than hardly play. He's a bad fit for this team now anyways.

Sometimes I think the league discriminates against short players

Re: Nate Robinson should be available
No thanks, he doesnt provide anything we really need. Maybe penetration but it's not like he does that very often anyways.
Plus the knicks wouldnt want anyone with more than this year left on their deal...so they probably ask for bellineli/wright. Id rather keep the much cheaper, better defender in bellineli.

He can start at the 2!
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars
Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid
There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

The immediate thought that springs to mind after reading the thread title was
"There's a good reason for that."

If there is one roster spot I'd like to upgrade it's the backup 3. Nate's CV doesn't qualify him for consideration.
2019 will never be forgotten because FLAGS FLY FOREVER

He'd catch a case of the "Raptors Syndrome".
Definition: Player that has the ability to drive, gets traded to the Raptors and starts to believe that he's a knock down jumpshooter. eg Fred Jones

Re: Nate Robinson should be available
Yes, I totally want him on this team.
A short guard who thinks he's Jordan when he has the ball. A player that is all about offense and doesn't play a lick of defense.
That is exactly what we need, because lord knows that what this team lacks more than anything else is an ability to score.
We already have enough players that are excellent offthe ball, play hard-nosed defense, and don't worry about their statistics over the team. We already have enough leadership and a strong enough team culture to absorb a controversial, me-first player without any ramifications to our future play and present play.
Bring on Nate Robinson. Get er done BC!

Eww...
I though the league was on notice NOT to help the Knicks.
Nate is similar to many Maple Leafs here in Toronto, he is known mostly because of the market he plays in. If he was a Bobcat, he would only be known by die-hard NBA fans.

I agree. He is a scrub. Why any team would want him is beyond me.
