<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The New Jersey Nets have acquired guard/forward Bernard Robinson from the Charlotte Bobcats in exchange for guard Jeff McInnis and cash considerations, Nets President Rod Thorn announced today.

?Bernard can play both guard and forward, is a good defender and will add athleticism and depth off our bench,? said Thorn.

Currently in his third NBA season out of Michigan, Robinson (6?6?/210) was a second round selection (45th overall) of the Charlotte Bobcats in the 2004 NBA Draft. In 118 career games, Robinson has averaged 4.8 ppg and 2.9 rpg in 15.9 mpg. This season, Robinson has appeared in 21 games for the Bobcats, averaging 2.4 ppg and 2.0 rpg.</div>

Well, we all know about all the problems Jeff McInnis caused in New Jersey (gained weight, didn't show any signs of wanting to work hard, missed practice, had a big attitude within the organization, etc.). I'm happy they finally got him and his contract out of there. Now, I don't see Robinson playing much, since you already have Antoine Wright and Hassan Adams (who has been playing well) off the bench, but I like his game. He can handle both the SG and SF position , he has a solid outside shot, he's athletic, his defense isn't great but it isn't bad either, he's long. I'm just happy you guys finally got rid of that scum, Jeff McInnis.

I would have rathered Ely but we get rid of some salary so it's not bad.

Jeff McInnis's career went downhill after he signed with New Jersey. He had two good seasons in Cleveland and the Cavaliers played really well with McInnis on the court. I remember when he went down for a few games the Cavs struggled desperately to win a few games. I don't understand why he signed with New Jersey if he didn't want any part of the organization. It never seemed like he wanted to be there.

From what I remember, McInnis had a rocky finish in Cleveland. He lost his starting job and he racked up a couple DNP - Coaches Decision's... and it wasn't because of injury. He had problems in Cleveland as well.
