From realgm.com

"A confidant of Nate Robinson said that Robinson is willing to wait for the Knicks to see their other off-season plans to a conclusion before getting back to him.

Robinson has "made it clear to Donnie [Walsh] and the organization that he wants to be there" and will "wait patiently while they sort through whatever they need to," said the source.

In the meantime, Alan Hahn calls the Knicks' signing of Ramon Sessions "inevitable" and says "there's reason to believe the Knicks want him enough to do what it takes" to add Sessions to the roster.

Sessions' agent Chubby Wells, who last week predicted a resolution of his client's status by early this week, has stopped providing updates on the progress of negotiations with the Knicks."

Do you think that if sessions sign, he'll be the backup PG?? if that's correct...robinson will sign anyway with them?? or we have a chance to get him to be the backup of R2??

He will be looking for a lot more than the lle no way we could get him and if he didn't want to go to the knicks because they got sessions why would he come here to play behind rondo

He wouldn't want to go back to NYC b/c he'd be fighting for minutes with Sessions and overpaid Duhon. Here he could join House in the backcourt to form the shortest backcourt in the NBA. I love his game but sad to say he can't guard a chair(aside from risky steal attempts b/c he biting his defenders ankles, And when he came off the weak side and blocked Yao LUCKY) I would still take him

Trade Tony Allen and cash for Nate Rob...Other than that, not going to happen
Can't stop, Rondo!

Why wouldn't he just sign a deal with Sacramento that the Knicks won't match (2 year deal).  They tried to trade for him already.

Nate Rob in Beantown. Sign and trade for Scal and Giddens. What a spark plug filled bench with sheed, rob, house, baby, and daniels.

I'd rather keep Scal! Robinson and House couldn't effectively play at the same time. If we get a back up point guard, I'd rather get someone with some height so House can play at the two.

Robinson would be a great asset on the team, but with House still here, I don't think there is much of a role for him. The perfect guy for us would be like Derick Fisher, a bigger PG that can distribute the ball on an average level and allow Eddie to play a hybrid SGPG while he'd on the court.

Nate would be nice addition if we trade House. We can't have them both.

as it says above, I agree with that, but to add, its not because of their offensive skill sets. They kind of complement each other that way. Its because defensively together they'd be a huge liability, and signing one to explicitly not put on the court with the other seems like a waste and doesn't maximize either player.

I'd love to have him. I just don't see him coming here for next to no money. Granted I didn't see that for Daniels either. Then again he's not here yet

I don't think Robinson comes here. Jason Williams makes more sense, but in the past I don't believe Ainge has pursued Williams. I guess Williams goes better on a running team. Robinson likes it in New York and won't take less to come here.

Yup. Instant energy, 2 threes per, 2 steals per, 17 points, 4 assists, and how about 4 rebounds per?

a tremendous rebounder, tremendous.  everybody calls him a 2 like thats a big deal. there are less than a dozen pure points in this league of starter caliber.  He can create just fine, especially with everything else he does.  And he's still getting better, and he's a competitor, a fighter (literally) Boston would love him.
