Give him a break. He's young and I think he will learn big time from the suspension. He is a great offensive talent off the bench and one of our best outside shooters. We need him.

Ditto. He's a good spark plug off of the bench, and can give, Marbs some rest, and provide some scoring and energy off the bench. Lets not forget, he's paid a heavy financial price during this suspension as well, he makes a little bit of money in NBA terms and just had a nice chunk taken.

He's a pretty good 3 pt shooter too, we could use him, our 3 pt shooting has suffered with him and Q gone.

he's a better option than either Mardy Collins or Francis off the bench, so he's a welcome addition
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

I'm not happy he's coming back. I think he brings little extra to the team, because of our guard glut, but Isiah will feel pressure to play him and we'll be back to the same issues.

Exciting player, but he often has little real impact on the game, other than getting the fans excited.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

We are 6-4 since the brawl. I will take 6-4 ANYDAY over 9-17. I am not saying that we will have the same consistency (winning at 60% a clip) for the rest of the year without a bench. BUT I think Nate's PT will be either cut short or of the EXTENDED GAR-BAGE nature.

Nate is selfish, mistake and turnover prone and oh yeah, he doesnt share the ball (has the second lowest assist clip on our team next to like Balkmand and Curry).

The only evident chemistry is with a shorter rotation. Killa, we've won 6 of our past ten games without Nate- his 3 point shooting was not missed all that much. I think Nate will havre to learn to play a "role" and thats about it.

so true... depth is so overrated. We simply have too many guys. There's a reason coaches have used 8 man rotations for the last 30 years.

I still like Nate. He's a ****y little b@stard, but he's still good for some spot duty off the bench.
He came up big for us in 4th quarters early on this season, granted, Steph and Jamal have both started playing considerably better since then. Nate's certainly expendable, but I wouldn't just throw him away.
