Yup. Getting Walker, Giddens and House for Lil Nate and Landry was a really good deal for us.

DNP: Did Not Pay!

Nate if stayed with KNicks would not have gotten it.

Two million saved is two million earned.

I guess Celts not sweating over keepiong Nate.

I think they did that on purpose..and if there was a similar situation in NY...OMG..MDA would have been crucified, by the fans and media..

On another note, Nate needs to get his sht together before he finds himself playing in china quicker then you you can say egg roll.

Or 79 more towels for Danny to waive.

of course, if you're a real conspiracy theorist... you might wonder if the knicks benched nate for 15 games in december to decrease his chances of earning that playoff bonus... thus making him $1M cheaper ($2M to luxo-taxed teams).... and making him more trade-able? eh? EH?

Or maybe he was benched because he isn't that good?

He was great (really, really good --- whatever) last year, what happened?

For you to believe that means the Knick threw the playoffs on purpose. I do believe that when Nate didn't have instant success, he was held out intentionally by the Celts.

He wasn't great last year. He's capable of scoring a lot, and fast. He's capable of doing that for a few games in a row too. But he's a liability on defense, and he often makes poor decisions on the ball. He can be fun to watch when he's on, but overall, he just isn't all that good.

He will be great in football... what a waste...

the "Nate for MVP" threads from last year brings back memories
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

Nate has a good heart... but a weak mind. I guess you can say that Nate got what he deserved; or rather didn't get what he didn't deserve, but I would have liked to have seen him get the extra money. When he plays, he plays hard; sometimes out of control, but he does give it his All.

Let's not cry for Nate. He did get "extra money" already in the generous deal Walsh gave him.
