If Francis and Marbury were both gone (no more bad influence), and Portland approached about swapping Telfair for Nate, would you guys say yes?

Sebastian Telfair
PPG 9.1
RPG 1.9
APG 3.6
SPG .83
BPG .11
FG% .382
FT% .778
3P% .370
MPG 24.2

Nate Robinson
PPG 8.5
RPG 2.3
APG 1.8
SPG .60
BPG .02
FG% .393
FT% .740
3P% .383
MPG 19.4

I've always wanted Telfair to play for his hometown. And I promise this is the last post I make about any transaction involving Nate, until his contract is up or trade rumors start up.

 

[Mr. Hobbes]

Nate would be a perfect backup to a tall, pass first PG. He's the ultimate change-of-pace backup. Telfair and Nate would be pretty short though, that could hurt.

 

[Mr. Hobbes]

Size is SO overrated as far as points are concerned. Jamal would be the backup 1 perhaps since he's tall and Q at backup SG

But do you mean Telfair with Nate at SG?

 

[Mr. Hobbes]

Nate matching up against Jared Jeffries will be interesting.

 

[Mr. Hobbes]

Nate would be the 2 while Tels would be the 1. Tels is a real PG and plays like it while Nate is an AI type player and would be a perfect fit at the 2.

Nate isn't the offensive player of Iverson's caliber. And Nate would get shot over by alomst every SG.

 

[Mr. Hobbes]

5'8 players aren't shooting guards. Sure, he can contest a shot, but most of the SGs in the league are 6'5 and over. And yes, I have tried shooting over a guy whos is very strong. But I didn't have 9 inches of height difference.

 

[Mr. Hobbes]

Worked for Frazier and Monroe. I'd try it, can't hurt more that it's hurting now.

 

[Mr. Hobbes]

It'll sell tickets, if anything. And it might win more games than the current 1/2 does. Not gonna get to the playoffs like that though.
