I for one would LOVE to have Krypto-Nate as our backup pg... that is if he played with in himself and didn't try to do to much...

It's not going to happen though because Nate wants more than the lle or bi-annual even though coming to Boston he would have a great chance at getting a ring...

I would love for us to get a deal done in which we could get Marquis Daniels over here through a sign and trade dealing TA to the Pacers or a 3rd team to open up a roster spot...  We would have the bi-annual exception to sign Robinson with (Probably wants more though)... Then with our other open roster spot I would love to sign Bowen with the lle!

For a roster like this:

Rondo
Ray
Paul
KG
Perk

Krypto-Nate
Eddie House
Marquis Daniels/Bowen
BBD
Shelden Williams

Lester Hudson (Inactive)
J.R. Giddens (Inactive)
Bowen/Marquis Daniels
Bill Walker (Inactive)
Scal

We already have Hudson and Eddie who do what Nate does.

The knicks offered him a $2.9 million qualifying offer. The best we can offer him is a $1.99 million LLE, probably for two years with a player option for the same amount on the second year. Why wouldn't New York match that? It's cheaper for them to match than the qualifying offer and they know Robinson will opt out for RFA anyways.

There is very little chance Robinson comes here unless it's for a decent sign and trade with years attached and we simultaneously ship expiring contracts for Robinson and a Knick horrible contract like Jared Jefferies. I just can't see that Robinson and Jeffries are better for this team than House, Scal, T Allen, and Giddens. At the deadline you are bound to be able to get a better package for a package House, Scal, T Allen, and Giddens than Jeffries and Robinson.  I think.

You can't be serious.  I'm no fan of Nate, but he is better than Eddie House and you have no idea if Hudson is any good at all.

With all the offcourt troubles Nate has lately been having this  off-season and the Knicks known interest in Ramon Sessions maybe they will pass on matching an offer to Robinson so they can sign Sessions and have more room for him in the back court with Duhon...

I hope that happens and it seems to me like the Knicks don't really want Robinson back.

Nate Robinson would be a superstar is this league if he was a foot taller.

So would I, I'd be a 7'3" center which works much better than a 6'3" guy with center skills.

No kidding... I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her.

And so on and so forth.
