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

[Evantime34]

Confirmed.
Nate could be like Gasol.
Good player on crappy team until trade and then you see the real player.

Gasol had lead Memphis to a 50 win season.

Gasol was the only player on that squad. I am not saying Nate is Gasol, but the comparison of potentially good players on bad teams.

Except in Nate's case, he isn't even close to the best player on that bad team.


In fact, when he plays for the bad team, it gets worse. 

I would like you to give Nate a chance. I think he will do well. In exchange for you giving him a chance I will create a thread dedicated to your greatness if I am wrong. Deal?

This offer is extended to anyone that thinks Eddie is better for this team than Nate.

Sooooo


You want me to agree that the Celtics getting Nate is just like the Lakers getting Gasol?


Really?

[celticinorlando]

so we get to see more ray allen on the court tonight because currently we don't have a SG on the bench that knows out sets....that is good...real good. maybe ray will go 5 for 20 tonight

Lol that's not what I was saying at all. He is not even remotely on Gasol's level.
 I want you to try and have a positive outlook on Nate until proven otherwise.

Nate Robinson and Marcus Landry have been dealt to Boston for Eddie House, JR Giddens and Bill Walker, according to Alan Hahn of Newsday.

[BballTim]

I just don't want him.


He plays at the begining of the season, Knicks not good.
He is out of the rotation, Knicks ok.



More to the point

With Nate, 10-21
Without Nate 9-12

here is what I posted before.

FACTS say that NYK is better when he is in the game opposed to when he is not.

His player efficiency numbers hint that he's not able to blow out a birthday cake while dunking.

  What's wrong with his PER?

Daniels plays that role....all eddie did was spot up and shoot while marquis ran the sets.

Surely Nate can get that done, he's a volume guy.

If it happens, it happens.


It is not going to make a big difference on the court.  This team goes as KG will go.  


The only thing I worry about is the chemistry.  House is out there jumping up with all the starters in the player intros.

Robinson has a less then steller locker room reputation.
