Nate Robinson traded to the Celtics

obamaismyuncle · 02-17-10, 02:16 PM

no

jayc88 · 02-17-10, 02:17 PM

great move, one of my favorite players

Tsoprano · 02-17-10, 02:20 PM

WOW

Don't know if he will be good or not for their team chemistry yet but I really like him as a player. The kid has a ton of heart and talent. That kind of positive energy alone he brings to the games and intensity makes him a little Kevin Garnett. The more of that the better!!

mlb · 02-17-10, 02:22 PM

Great move I think

whatsgood5 · 02-17-10, 02:25 PM

What'd we get for him?

paco · 02-17-10, 02:26 PM

Wow, this came as a big surprise to me

whatsgood5 · 02-17-10, 02:26 PM

Eddie House was rumored to be coming to us last night, said we may get a later first round from them too. Wonder if that ended up being true. Tough to see Nate go as he is obviously a fan favorite, but our season is done anyways.

pavyracer · 02-17-10, 02:27 PM

Too bad he was traded after the all star game. Now the Celtics will not win anything this year.

Grux · 02-17-10, 02:29 PM

Nice move by the Celts.

ukbro00 · 02-17-10, 02:31 PM

Wow, the Knicks are so stupid. Why do they have to trade the only person on their team that gives 100% every single game and is loved by the fans?

Bill Dozer · 02-17-10, 02:32 PM

Set up for trading Allen??

jjgold · 02-17-10, 02:35 PM

Boston is too old , Pierce, Allen, Wallace basically done and Garnett not far behind.

You are so stupid. His contract is up after this year and it's pretty obvious we weren't going to bring him back. The towel was thrown in on this year before it started.

Yes, I am aware that they weren't going to bring him back, but that is the stupidity. I guess they are lucky that they can get something for him, but he is a spark to the team. Why would you not want someone like that on your team? He sat on the bench for an ENTIRE MONTH and in the first game that he played, he scored 40 points. Show me anyone else who can do that.

He's incredibly inconsistent though. I may be wrong, but I think the next game out or something he shot like 2-10, while trying to do everything by himself. I would agree that if it was a straight up trade for House, it'd be a pointless trade, but if the rumors are true about us getting a first-rounder as well, then it's a pretty good trade. Even if it was a second-rounder it'd be a good trade.

As a Celtic fan I will miss Eddie, and will root for him in New York.
That being said, let the Nate Robinson age in Boston begin.

Lint Pockets · 02-17-10, 03:03 PM

nice thank you knicks.. go celtics lol

Powderguy · 02-17-10, 03:05 PM

Huge surprise, Celts are still doomed in playoffs.

lakerboy · 02-17-10, 03:08 PM

how would this make them favorites considering this guy has no discipline and just jacks up 3's

Right. This may make them better in about 20 percent of their games when he plays well, but it will make them worse in a lot of games when he's throwing up every shoot he gets the chance to shot...

lyon804 · 02-17-10, 03:40 PM

Favorites for what????

jimmy lytle · 02-17-10, 04:00 PM

why would anyone trade anybody when they can talk about a offer anybody that can make 40 points give them time to be a player

Ya lost me. Try some punctuation maybe...

whatsgood5 · 02-17-10, 04:06 PM

Looks like the deal isn't quite official yet either.

maseda17 · 02-17-10, 04:07 PM

A rather inconsequential trade. They just prefer Nate's ability to handle the ball as opposed to House being a standstill shooter. Gives them some offense off the bench but not a move that drastically alters their championship aspirations. Kind of a yawn move.

fedtpels · 02-17-10, 04:07 PM

Decent move by the celtics i guess - not getting the trophy though.

Slyster2152 · 02-17-10, 04:09 PM

I was watching espn the deal isnt official

Yep.

fsugolf · 02-17-10, 04:24 PM

definitely doesn't bring a ring to boston this year

knicksb4chicks · 02-17-10, 04:27 PM

the deal is in the works...im hearing its for allen and scalabrine...knicks are prob not gunna make the playoffs nate is not gunna be back...i hope they make this trade to give my boy Toney douglas more minutes...nate would be a nice pickup for the celtics no doubt

THEGREAT30 · 02-17-10, 04:29 PM

Deep bench now, plus ATL has problems with Nate, so this could get Bos pass ATL if they meet this year, good day

KiDBaZkiT · 02-17-10, 04:30 PM

What a joke if this goes down. Celtics should of never gotten Rashit Wallace EVER. Eddie House was a great spark off the bench and a much better 3 point shooter than black panther Wallace. IDK why they decided to give Eddies shots to that old racist piece of garbage. The Celtics won their last title because of their defense and now they are gonna bring in a guy shorter than the last girl I fukked? Robinson couldnt guard most women in the WNBA. What a joke. Cavs and C's look to be in a race to see who can make the dumbest move before the deadline.

bnaid8 · 02-17-10, 04:37 PM

I can't wait to hear what The Sports Guy Bill Simmons has to say about this. I feel like this is a lateral move for the C's. They still have an old as dirt team that can't compete with the young legs in the East.
