He is the worst player on this team right now.

Well he's more athletic than Luke, I'll give him that.

C's could get something BUT I don't think we'd want what teams would offer unless it's a starter or a very good bench player. Nate could start for some teams. Going through an ugly slump at times in games.

I would hate to see the team for which Nate could start.

Well the Raptors and the Kings could use him. Hell, what about the Cavs starting guards?

I actually like Nate. I know not everyone does.

I consider him a similar but different version of Eddie House. An imperfect but serviceable combo guard that will win more games for you than he loses as a backup. More defensive effort, Higher energy, worse decision making skills, about the same with the streak shooting and ball handling.

Im a big Nate fan. Hes been in a slump but he can turn it on when needed. He takes an awful lot of shots however. But, Hes a great bench guy, great energy guy, once West comes back to handle the ball he is going to flow much easier in the offense.

I don't know his career stats, but this year he is 41 percent from the field and 35 from behind the arc.  And, shooting is really all he brings to the game.

  Sadly, no. But I think the hope is that he will play better after Delonte comes back and Nate isn't trying to be a pg.

Wow he doesn't show up very often. No brains for point guard and hasn't shot well. I guess he'd do better at the 2. Delonte will certainly seat him down.

Shouldn't the Celtics at least wait for him to go on a hot streak before thinking about trading him? 


Why trade low?

Nate is a streaky shooter and his stats have been going down since the start of the season.  Of course nobody was jumping off his bandwagon during the first month:

NOV 50% overall; 43.9% 3PT%
DEC 41.5% overall; 37.1% 3PT%
JAN 35% overall; 28.6% 3PT%

I think he was somewhat impacted by the Rondo injury and trying to step in and do too much.

I love what Eddie did for the C's for 2.5 years, but let's face it, he's a marginal NBA player which is why he's on a new team every year.
