    Apparently he's being bought out by the Thunder, and has stayed in Seattle this whole time. Anyone interested in replacing Armon with him? They're pretty similar in that both of them are athletic non-PGs, but Robinson is (a) from the NW and (b) has had that "Donkey and Shrek" moment in the playoffs.

    If he was only a foot taller. This team needs front court depth a lot more, don't you think?

    Yes, I'd like to replace Armon with Nate Robinson, whose personality is Patty Mills on steroids. Hopefully we'd have a clash of the Nates.

    (It's not realistic financially, though.)

    It would be along the same lines of swapping Pendergraph for Thomas/Smith. Fringe-of-the-league youngster for established veteran, and at roughly the same price? Pull the trigger when those opportunities present themselves!

    My philosophy too. This team hasn't fully extricated itself from the odorous jaws of Pritchard. Although I'd like to know why OKC bought him out.

    There aren't any minutes for him, and I don't think he'd enjoy being third string.

    Nate's ego is too big for his size. If only he was a bit taller.

    He always seemed to play well against us as a Knick. But if we are going to add a vet PG then that player needs to be a true PG. We have back up Pg's now that can score. We need one that can run a team and help others score.

    I picture him as a thinner version of HCP. He's a talkative hot tamale whose jabbering bugs his teammate, ILoveOden. So OKC banned the black HCP!

    I'd pass on Nate Robinson. I'd much rather have Nolan and Elliot play any available back up minutes.

    Nate has always struck me as a me first guy. That can work if a player is a top talent, but not so much if they're coming off the bench. So good :)

    Nate Robinson? An undersized chucker that doesn't play any defense. Sure, he can score in bursts. But, so can Crawford.
