Nate Robinson believes he's about to turn his career around after being waived by the Thunder.

"One team's trash is another team's treasure," Robinson said. "With whatever team that I land on they know they're going to get everything out of me. I'm going to come to practice early -- first one there, last one to leave."

Robinson is using his waiver as a chance to prove his detractors wrong.

"I work hard every day, practice every day and play hard in games whether it's one minute, 10 minutes, 30 minutes or 40 minutes," Robinson said. "I'm going to always cheer for my teammates, as everybody sees all the time. I'll be the first guy off the bench, congratulating my guys or picking them up off the floor -- doing everything a player is supposed to do."

im anxious to see where he goes. i still think he can be a good player on a good team.

Hornets and Wizards have discussed a Okafor/Kaman for Lewis/McGee deal but the Wizards want a little more.

 

[Pugz]

as they should. mcgee is a fun player to watch but he wont ever be better than 10/11 type player.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I'd give them Belli and still pay for his contract, I want him gone that bad lol

The Clippers have "zero" interest in signing Gilbert Arenas, according to a source. Arenas remains a free agent and will audition for teams later this week. The Clippers lost Chauncey Billups for the season on Tuesday.

Joel Przybilla is expected to decide on Wednesday which team he will sign with for the remainder of the season.

Przybilla is picking between the Heat, Bulls, Bucks or Blazers.

"I think Portland is always the sentimental favorite for obvious reasons," agent Bill Duffy said. "Joel has a home here and he had the best years of his career here. And at this particular time, it looks like he is needed, too."

I honestly don't even want him.

Go to the Bucks, they're irrelevant to the Heat. (inb4theybeatustwice)

Free agent center Joel Pryzbilla has chosen to sign with Blazers, source tells Yahoo! Sports.

Nice Joel back in Portland.

I hear Kyrylo Fesenko is close to a return (he was injured)

Heat, Mavs (I think), and some other teams are interested.

 

[Pugz]

joel should have rolled with a contender.

 

[lonesomefx]

Joey P finally got a team, nice to see him back in Portland. I wonder how much of an impact he can still make on defense and the boards.

 

[SaintFan25]

So happy to have Joel back, he's always been a fan favorite.

The Lakers are considering a swap with the Blazers for point guard Raymond Felton, who was recently benched. The Lakers would be able to fit Felton's $7.5MM salary in using part of their $8.9MM trade exception acquired in the Lamar Odom deal.

 

[Pugz]

get it done la.

 

[Stro]

Not a bad time to pick up Felton. Obviously had a bit of a down year so far but he's capable of playing much better.

 

[DJT]

I don't see what they would give Portland...I doubt they just take money.
