BREAKING NEWS: Nate Robinson offered $10 million a year!!!!!

[halffttime]

Wow....$10 million a year......man, that's a lot of fill in Greek item of choice spaghetti!

[OneMoreSucka]

Gyros.

Nate would be stupid to turn that down, espescially if he cant get anything more than the MLE.

Gtfo the best gyros are right on the corner of 48th and 3rd

[drewdizzle]

He won't be missed by me

[JG000]

Why would going overseas make you... whatever you're trying to say it would make him?

It's pure greed. Don't act like Josh Childress wasn't already making a handsome salary, or that he wasn't already playing with the best in the world.

Dance around it all you want, but Childress abandoned the life long dream of every kid who ever shot a basketball just to earn a few more million dollars and increase his negotiating power.

Screw him.

[CarpeDiemKJ]

Nate would beast in that free setting in Europe.

[HaNdLe ThE RoCk]

Damn...I hope the Knicks re sign Nate

[shawbryant]

Is the deal done?

Atlanta has been a mess for several years. If Childress was with another team he likely would never have left for Europe. I think he's getting away from a bad franchise that's a mess and that fan's won't support.

To suggest that leaving for Europe is nothing more then chasing money is wrong. Europe can be a very attractive place to play. Just getting away from the closed loop that is the USA can be a good thing.

Where do you work? Whatever industry you work in, is your employer the absolute #1 around? Are employees of Dell/HP/Gateway all sellouts who should quit and try to work for Apple for half the salary? If you had to choose between being the CEO of Under Armor or a rank and file employee (still making a good salary) at Nike, which would you choose?

2010 greek league MVP: nate robinson

Just like Pargo and Childress were supposed to be the 2009 Greek League MVPs right? Neither even got a single vote.

Childress himself said after he stayed with Olympiacos that the level in Europe is way above what US fans and media say it is. He said there is barely a little bit of difference from the level of the NBA and that it's just nonsense that sports fans in the US say and they don't know anything about basketball in general.

This is supported by the fact the he said the defense was much tougher than it is in the NBA.

[Lakas Fan Yo]

Nate would beast in that free setting in Europe.

No he would not. Last summer NBA fans guaranteed that:

Pargo, Childress, Krstic, Giricek, Boykins, Delfino, Nachbar, Arroyo, Garbajosa would all "dominate Europe".

Well actually every single one of them had a failure season except Delfino and Garbajosa. Actually some of them were downright horribly bad.

NBA fans in general still live 10 years in the past in the basketball world. An NBA player at the level of Robinson would never in a million years be a beast in Europe. He would be an undersized shooting guard that can't run a team or play defense. He would be the same exact thing he is in the NBA and nothing more.

[goldenryan]

how a can a team that plays in arena 1/3 the size of any nba team offer so much money and play childress too?

[NBA4EVER]

Damn...I hope the Knicks re sign Nate

i dont think the knicks want nate robinson back
