On rotoworld it said nate Rob might be cut by chicago by january 10th ( when his contract becomes guaranteed) to give more time to marquis teague. If they do cut him would you want us to sign him?
He would be our best bench player and maybe it would help us having an advantage in resigning him for very cheap next year. we arent that far out from competing for a playoff spot this year....signing nate Rob and kenyon martin would help.
I don't think a leg up on hiring him is necessary. He signed a one year unguaranteed deal for this season. Doubt he's commanding anything worthwhile next season
Completely agree, just seems like it might be easier to convince him to stay than to try to sign him among other teams ( if other people call of course)
Actually what we need is someone who can score off the bench since our bench still has trouble getting points for us.
seriously, if we REALLY wanted a better backup we could just make room for Coby Karl, since that isn't happening speculating on guys like Robinson is IMO a waste of time
Robinson has been coming off the bench at both G positions and starting some at PG with Hinrich hobbled by minor injuries. He's been streaky, but pretty much the Bulls best guard.
Gives a legitimate backup option for Lillard, reducing his workload, and thereby reducing his chance of fatigue-related injury? Makes the team a little more enjoyable to watch, thereby improving revenue?
For some reason someone in the Blazer's organization is not up for cutting a guaranteed contract which is why you won't see Robinson either.
yep, and that's why I asked the question, some guys keep sayin get this guy or that but mgmt seems totally set on staying the course with what we got.
Management wins either way; if the team loses a bunch of games, they get a nice draft pick. If they win a bunch of games, they look smart.
You realize I was addressing MM2.0's question, right? I was fully on board with keeping Karl during preseason, and would be very happy if they brought him back now. However, comparing the two seems ludicrous, considering the fact that Robinson has actually demonstrated that he can contribute at the NBA level. Karl is actually a year older than Robinson, and has played approximately 1/3 as many NBA minutes in his career as Nate has this season. We have plenty of players who would like to prove that they belong in the league; it might be nice to have another one that already has.
