Nate to Celtics Official / Danny's take (merged Nate threads)

[celticinorlando]

Me like. Maybe he'll have couple of 40pts games in Boston. The bench gets better. But The problem is still the starters. Hopefully KG heals up. And Ray come out of his funk.

Alot of it is just the starters not making any hustle plays. Marquis is out there getting offensive rebounds, TA and going for loose balls, Baby is hustling on the boards, Rasheed is playing like a forward instead of a guard... nobody on the starters is doing that stuff.

agree...the starters and bench seem to get a lead in the first half and the starters seem to be the ones to blow it. they have to pick it up

nate would def. give boston the all talk team for sure

Per Trade Machine this is a very hard trade to make work for the parts discussed here.

Nate is a head case but he would be straight for a 1/2 season.

God I hope this isn't true

Can't stand the player

Can't stand his game

Can't stand his ego

Can't stand his attitude

Can't stand the thought of him on this team

I know what you mean, but if Marbury could make it work, Nate can, too. I don't like him right now, but who knows, my mind may change- and heck, I don't have to talk to him- I just have to watch his high energy game on the 2nd unit.

[Andy Jick]

if i recall correctly, didn't nate specifically say that boston was a team he WANTED to play for?

if true, don't discount that...it has a way of fixing attitude problems.  afterall, would any of you want to play for that joke of a team that NY puts on the floor?

i like this deal...it's low risk, but has high reward potential.

Paul Pierce- "Hey, i found a backup point guard!"

HAHAHAHAHA TP

very good find. i guess we have our #2 PG..i just hope it is for scal and eddie...we need to keep TA....time to poop or get off the pot with ray

Isn't it funny how the tides have changed on TA? I feel the same way. He really has solidified himself into the 2nd unit. I know he isn't Posey, but he does give us a high energy defensive stopper.

He is a classic SELL HIGH chance.  He has had a terrific season, but he is a role player.

Sadly that trade has ZERO chance of working out. NYC values Chandler more than that. And with Nate being an expiring, they can let him expire this year and keep Wilson for next.

IF they really got desperate and wanted to make a fire sale, I'd be more than willing to take Wilson Chandler.

I like the trade but they need to make another big move if they want to be in some sort of finals this year!

[xmuscularghandix]

I don't care how they get it done... just do it.

tony allen has a low basketball IQ...it seems as if we've been talking about his "potential" for years, but i have no faith it will become a reality.  this is the best time to pawn him off in a deal, as he's injury free and an expiring contract...and he's as good as he's gonna get.  hurry up and trade him before that secret gets exposed...

I got one to work:

TA/Shelden for Robinson/Landry.  Hopefully TA would get bought out and returned.


I'd love to add Robinson.  Excellent scorer for a team that really needs a go-to option off the bench.  Dangerous off the dribble or spotting up.

TA will not get bought out.

Anyways:

According to multiple sources, the Celtics [team stats] and Knicks are close to a deal that would bring guard Nate Robinson to the Celts, possibly in exchange for Eddie House.

Heck yes if this is true!

[Tough Juice]

that's great

[Poseidon]

I have a question for all the basketball experts here . How soon do think the trade will happen if it does? It is it a matter of weeks or days? And is there a deadline in which a trade has to be made before?
