TRADE: Nate Robinson to the Celtics

[Glenn]

Done deal, apparently per Alan hahn at Newsday.

[Glenn]

Not sure who the Knicks get, but probably just an expiring scab (Scal? Giddens?) and a pick/cash.

[Joe Asberry]

last hope for a RIP trade is dead... Nate is a good, streaky scorer...he could help Boston if he accepts his role and won't do anything stupid

[Glenn]

@WojYahooNBA: Knicks Celtics still talking on Robinson-Eddie House, 3 sources say, but may not be a deal until tomorrow.

[WTFchris]

Why does NY do this? Both are expiring deals, how does this help them at all? I don't see the point unless Jeffries and some Boston expiring deals are in there too.

[Glenn]

Gotta be cash and/or a pick in there, too.

[Glenn]

Nate trade not "official" but done - and @WojYahooNBA says may not finalize until tomorrow - but sounds like it is House/2nd Rnd pick.

[WTFchris]

2nd round pick from Boston is basically worthless. I still don't see a reason for NY to do this. They could possibly keep Nate cheap next year or just let him walk. I doubt they really want House next year. Unless they get a first rounder I think it's stupid.

They could have just traded him to LAL to get their second round pick back next year. They are looking for a PG (not sure if he fits the bill though).

[Hermy]

D'Tone hates Nate. House works well in that system.

Quintessential stand at the arc and fire when loaded guy.
