Bring back Nate Robinson and Barbosa next year

[CelticConcourse]

Do you like having a player that provides almost nil impact for you? 

There is a reason he was benched in a bad washington team for the 2nd half of the year.

This kid has no prayer

Do you follow Washington basketball? The only reason they benched him, was because John Wall returned.  Get your facts straight, then talk.

Nate almost beat michael jordan

Nate Robinson's 23 points in 4th quarter were 2nd-most scored by Bulls player in a playoff quarter..Michael Jordan had 24 in quarter in 1990

you got zero facts. So your star player comesback and you suddenly go on a do not play list for weeks??

If you are good, aren't you at least suppose to come off the bench?

can you explain

[ItStaysYang]

Have you forgotten that Nate Robinson is terrible?

.............Have you watched a Bulls game this season?

He might be terrible if you compared him to the likes of Chris Paul...or Magic, Stockton, and Isiah Thomas, but he has been crucial to the Bulls this season. Above average point guard.

He was terrible as a Celtic. The grass is not always greener. Why bring him back? No point. We need to focus on getting a center. And pretty soon, a franchise player

The last thing we need on this team is undersized players at ANY position. I don't care if he has hops, he's tiny

That's like saying you wouldn't want Alex English in his prime because he was terrible during his time on the Bucks/Pacers.

I don't want Robinson on this team either because he wouldn't be a good fit (as we already have Rondo and a bunch of other guards that play his role), but please don't say he is terrible. Terrible comes off as a horrible insult, and I don't like it when players don't get at least some of the credit they deserve.

Are you seeing Nate right now(Game 4 vs Nets)? 28 points at 11/16 shooting. In less than 20 minutes of play.

After re-reading, I suppose I agree with you. He doesn't bring much to this guard-heavy team, and he does seem to be playing much better.

His name leaves a sour taste in my mouth because of his performances in green. I remember being very relieved when he was sent off...

[celticslove]

nate is not dumb enough to come back here. seeing how our genius coach uses his players. he is better not in green.

And now Nate LEADS his team, without rose, past the heat while Jason terry and Courtney lee are playing golf somewhere.

I don't think Doc even realizes what's goin on here. Nate is the type of guy you have to enable, not restrict. Thibs just crushing it. Best coach besides Pop hands down. No Deng, no Rose, hurt foot Noah, stitches Nate, no Hinrich ...  no excuses!  Key early minutes by guys like Mohammad, a few for Teague...

[sed522002]

It's all about getting an opportunity and making the best of it. Nate was given a title by many in the league, but he's showing that he doesn't have to be that label..and he's the main one keeping his team alive. When given a little freedom to play good things can happen sometimes.

To say that Doc has restricted guys like Nate Robinson, Jordan Crawford, or however else we had coming off the bench is so hilarious. Most of the coaching he provided to those folks was instructing them to "be themselves".

[NocturnalRebel]

We had our chance with Nate and traded him away. I liked him on this team. He would be a nice spark off tha bench along with Barbosa but I would rather have Barbosa back over Nate.

I don't see Nate coming back looking at how big he's coming up for Chicago right now. He might want to stay there but I could be wrong. I hope Barbosa comes back tho. He was great for us. I miss those lucky bounces he got around tha rim.

Actually I think he gave Jordan a longer than normal leash to "be himself".

I think most of the problems we have had with bench scorers is they deferred too much to the big 3. Nate rarely jacked with the reckless abandon he has this year  when he was with the C's.

Yeah, shocking, our coach played his all-star PG before Nate Robinson, who would have though.

[relja]

Seriously, I am sick of how butthurt some people in this thread are.

Nate has been crucial to the Bulls success this season, he has been super clutch and won a bunch of games all by himself, including a few games against Brooklyn.

I get it, you are sad because we traded him but c'mon. He is freakishly good this season and is playing the ball of his life. I would trade JET to get him back in an instant.
