Why did Detroit take on the extra money of his contract if not to have him play?

I read here that Prince is trying to negotiate a buyout with Detroit. I thought he was a salary dump for Detroit. Isn't he expiring contract?

This is so obviously Nate Robinson. We need lil Nate! He's proved it in the playoffs! What are we waiting for?

Simple answer: Just put him out there. He'll make things happen!
More thought out answer: Wait til the other team is resting their best backcourt option. Nate can be a defensive liability due to his size (although I personally think this is overstated) so put him in there when he only has to guard the back up and let him create havoc on offense

Nate could work as a guy who only plays when we have absolutely no offense coming from Dame or Wes/Afflalo.

What makes him a thug? Also he's friends with at least 4 of the players on the blazers

Yes, why didn't I think about that. Besides...Jerome was vouching for him the other day. Ray Allen is also out there.

Steve is a nice guy, but we really need Nate for a change of pace type pg. It makes too much sense to happen though.

Yeah, Steve's shot has been getting worse for two years now. I know nates percentages this year haven't been impressive but he was coming back from an injury. He could really help us. He's a better outside shooter than blake and could potentially win you a game by himself. Blake can't do that. Plus he's close with a bunch of players on the team and is from the northwest. I say why not?

Would love Kendrick Perkins even though he kinda sucks. Due for a revenge game against the THunder, would love that. big body.
Woj says he's likely going to Cavs though

Theres a reason teams don't keep little Nate. The Celtics had him on the roster years ago and preferred to cut him this year. He won't be happy as the 15th man on the Blazers roster and will complain about touches or role. He has a track record of a poor attitude for multiple teams he's been on and burned bridges. Bringing him in would be as stupid as when we signed Rod Strickland back in the day.

If Nate was a stand up guy why has he gone months with no interest from any teams in signing him? The Heat had the worst PG rotation in the league before 2 days ago but never any interest. The guy has obvious talent and skill on the court that would seem useful to multiple playoff teams. I believe teams are very weary of his previous attitude problems.

A better guess would be his injury he had last year. He didn't look the same earlier this year with the nuggets.

Probably not. Although he did have a big year in Minny a couple seasons ago, posted 12/6/3 on .507/.292/.752

Heres a pretty good article about his antics.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1604127-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-of-nate-robinson
He is a polarizing figure. Sometimes he can be fun and exciting but he can also annoy teammates, coaches, and rub them the wrong way. He doesn't know when to stop and shut up. For the 15th roster spot the team doesn't need a player they have to babysit.
