Nate Robinson will re-sign with the Celtics on a two-year, $9 million deal that includes bonuses.

Robinson was acquired by the Celtics at the trade deadline in a trade with the Knicks.

He played sparingly throughout the playoffs until the Eastern Conference Finals.

That's good coin with incentive to make more--whoever makes 4.5MM + a year is doing well.

Good for Nate. I think the Celts overpaid slightly, but a solid deal all around.
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.

Good deal all around includes Nate getting a good deal out of it.

It's fair to overpay for such a short contract. And Nate played very well for them in very meaningful minutes. And when some of their scorers are flat, Nate can do that for them too. I think he's good for them and they're good for him.

Fixed. I think the two years is so when the Celts get to rebuilding mode, they don't have to deal with Nate.

I'm happy for Nate and may he have an allstar season. Some of you are still hatting on player that leave us. Nate is moving on and I wish all and every player who leave us the best with exception of Curry, and Jerome James aka Bonnie and Clyde. They robbed us.I hope Curry hold on to his money because this will be the last time he will see this kind of money.

Save your money nate!!!

He is on a good team and should do well.

Nates got game, a good guy, and "emotionally drunk" with himself.

And just think, his own draft buddy and former teammate, David Lee, signed a contract this offseason for $80 million.

That's all he got? A 2 year deal worth a fraction of the MLE? He put up 17/4/4 off the bench 2 years ago. He would have gotten paid much more if he'd been an unrestricted FA 2 summer's ago.

It's because he's undersized. If Nate had similar production and was 6'1", he'd be getting paid double. The problem is, because he's so short, the guy he's defending usually has a good game. It's not really his fault, people just shoot over him, because he's too short. He's a sparkplug.

So in the future Nate will be taking young Celtics aside and showing them the ropes...

...That is something I would like to see on camera.

Most of Curry's and Jerome James injuries were because they were not in shape and they really didn't want to play anymore. No one is going to take a chance on them two. Maybe a none gaurenteed salary for one year and if they get hurt it's on them.
