I agree that Lawson could be on the way out. Afflalo and Chandler have been linked to contenders lately (LAC and POR). Fire sale!
To take whose spot in the rotation? We already have Josh Smith to fill our "What the **** kind of shot was that?!?" quota. We don't need Nate.
Don't overrate our team. We need a backup PG that can create and push the tempo. Nate is fearless. He brings energy and has played big in playoff games. Being conservative doesn't win championships

Im telling you go get him he short but he's another tough player Michael Carter Williams is out there too or play Canaan
Who's overrating? And who's being conservative? Just because I don't want Nate Robinson doesn't mean I don't think we need help at the PG spot. I simply don't think he's the answer. A line-up with both him and Josh Smith in it would be discombobulated. Guys like Brewer, D-Mo, and Terry would never get the ball, which would therefore completely negate their value to the team. There are better options out there IMO.
I think this is more about your perception of Nate than it is about what the team needs. We need a player that can instantly score and create his own shot off the bench. Nobody off our bench can create their own shot consistently. We need instant offense. He can get to the rim at will and has shown he plays well in the postseason. The type of player that can get you 12-17pts in a crucial playoff game. I'm not sure who you think we can get that's a better option
