Sportsbook had the Boston Celtics making a trade with the New York Knicks that got them Nate Robinson. The Knicks were a busy team at the trading deadline as they get positioned to make a serious run at big name free agents next sportsbook online NBA season.
Sportsbook stats had the Knicks sending Robinson to the Celtics in return for Eddie House, J.R. Giddens and Bill Walker. The Celtics could also be getting a player to be named later. The Celtics really are trading Eddie House for Nate Robinson and it is somewhat unclear at the sportsbook why they made the deal. Sportsbook online had House being a popular player in Boston. “The Celtics feel like they’re a better team with the guy they’re trying to get. “ House said, “I gotta move on, that’s what it is. I’m here at practice today, I’m a basketball player, I’m going to do what I love to do… At the end of the day, you can’t control it. It’s out of my hands. The one positive for House in the deal is that he gets to play for New York coach Mike D’Antoni again. “That helps a lot,” House said. “I know the coaching staff, I know the system, I know the plays they run. I know my style fits right in. I’m feeling good right now about the way I’m playing. It’s going to be a good thing. You have to take it like that.” House was with the Celtics for the past three sportsbook online seasons including their championship season of 2007-08. He was a big guy off the bench for Boston and last year he set the Celtics record for 3-point shooting as sportsbook stats indicated.
Sportsbook online had Boston head coach Doc Rivers not real happy about the deal. “It’s easy for me to move guys from the exterior of the core, but it’s difficult to even think about touching anyone in the core,” Rivers said. “If we do this, that, in my opinion, is what we’d be doing here. To me, that’s a tough thing to do. But that’s life in the NBA.”
Sportsbook had Robinson spending his entire career with the Knicks. He has averaged 13.2 points and 3.7 assists per game this sportsbook NBA season. He is known at the sportsbook more for winning the slam dunk title than for anything else.
