i don't know if anyone caught this already, but a few interesting bits of info on nate for the summer:

http://gr8life.msnbc.com/2007/05/summer_time_tim.html

most of it is just fluff, but a few things stood out:

- he says IT has been hard on him. for what that's worth it's good to hear, i guess. nate needs it, and IT needs to show some tough love for our guys.
- says no Rucker this summer! will be working out/improving his game. a sign he's trying to be something more than a sideshow?

wow, nate still has that blog? he's had that since his rookie year

Posted by MS:

YOU MEAN YOU DON"T WORK ON YOUR GAME AT THE RUCKER? SOMEONE SHOULD TELL JAMAL.......

Because last year he said thats where you try stuff for the upcoming season......

LOL.

i actually wouldn't mind him playing just normal pickup games, a lot of pro players in the offseason do that. obviously that doesn't mean going up to rucker and putting on a show, just regular games where he can shed a bad parts of his game. i remember reading a few years ago someone saw Nash in Tribeca playing pickup at a playground during the summer, the guys he was playing with apparently didnt even know who he was
