What Up!

J. Michael Falgoust: Nate Robinson will be bought out by #Thunder so he can become free agent. They tried to do this before the lockout. Working on it now #nba Twitter

Should we consider bringing him back for the, lets say Low Level Exception? He already knows the system, and adding young legs wouldnt hurt us.
Btw i really liked Nate before he got traded. There isnt alot of guys that bring the kind of Energy as Nate does night in and night out. I also noticed that our bench did bring a big amount of energy every game with Nate on the team, that however changed drastically after we traded him.

Sure..why not...but he should be the last player on DA's FA list...if some other team signs him in the meantime, no big whoop.

I think the LLE is off limits for tax-paying teams under this new CBA agreement.

I say yes sign him back and try and persuade him to take the vet's min. He is a good 3 point shooter and we didn't have a lot of energy coming off our bench. Sign him, Delonte, and Marquis back and we have a pretty good 5 man rotation with those 3, Rondo(or CP3), Ray, and Avery

Yes!

As much I really like Jeff Green I loved Nate when he was here. He added that scoring punch off the bench which is what every team needs.

Bring him back I say. I dont think he wanted to leave in the first place. And with him being only 27 then yes sign him to a contract asap! Fresh legs is what this team needs!

I would also look at brining back Arroyo who was pretty decent with us also

i say yes, Nate Robinson loved it here in Bos, and he tried hard...

yeh he's a little crazy but Boston is a brotherhood, everyone who played here during the big 3 era ended up loving it here

Marquis, Nate, Wallce...

only exception is Marbury

I don't want Nate back. He's all energy and no brains. Gave me indigestion last season, diving after loose balls going out of bounds that would have gone to us anyway, passing the ball to the other team, making dumb fouls, bricking a 3 in transition with nobody under the basket... the list goes on forever. When he was running the point, I wanted to jump out the window to make the hurting stop.

Sure, why not? But nothing that will hurt us financially next off-season.

Nate kind of got a raw deal last year. He was always meant to play off the ball, in a sg type role. However, West' injury didn't allow that to happen and Nate was forced to play point.

It certainly wouldn't hurt as a deep bench player, but I don't see him actually helping us (unless we're hurt) unless West walks.  But if West is back, we don't really need him.

Then again, it's quite likely we will face injuries, so this could be helpful, especially since he knows the system and players.

DA knows whether Nate was a good citizen/teammate behind the scenes.  If he was, then I think Nate would be a decent addition for minimum $$ and 1 year.

He would be absolutely PERFECT considering West's injuries

if we have rondo & west then I am fine with bradley getting 5 minutes a night as 3rd string pg OR sign marquis as an end of bench guy who can play THREE posistions

Why not? Was there some behind the scenes issue?
