With guard Nate Robinson expressing his desire to be traded away from the New York Knicks, ESPN.com's Chris Sheridan writes in today's Daily Dime that Boston is the two-time Slam Dunk champion's preferred landing spot. Sheridan details potential trade scenarios: Robinson is what's known as a base-year compensation player, a designation given to any player whose salary rises more than 20 percent from the previous season (Robinson went from making $2.02 million to $4 million). If the Knicks found a trade for Robinson that was to his liking, they could only take back a player making $2.02 million or less -- and Walsh has been adamant that he will not take on any contracts that eat up the cap space he has squirreled away for next summer. (Note: A trade of Robinson to Boston for J.R. Giddens and Bill Walker would work under salary cap rules, but would add nearly $2 million to the Knicks' 2010-11 payroll. A Robinson-Marquis Daniels swap -- with all deals possibly brokered through a third team -- would make more sense for New York payroll-wise, but it is questionable whether that would interest the Celtics -- even with Daniels sidelined until the All-Star break by thumb surgery.)
Bahahahahahahahahaha. Obviously Nate Robinson wants to play for the Celtics. Who doesn't? Just because he wants to be in Boston doesn't mean that Boston wants him to be in green in and white. If Rajon Rondo is everything that's right about being a point guard in the NBA then Robinson is everything that's wrong. He's a dunk first, shoot second, pass the ball third type of player. There doesn't seem to be a huge market in the league for 5 foot 9 guards with a tiny man complex. I'm pretty confident that there's a reason he hasn't played in 9 games. He fucking sucks.
