lol.Players weren't exactly jumping for joy in the locker room on Thursday upon hearing that the team had acquired Nate Robinson from the Knicks.
Boston send New York a package that included guard Eddie House.
"I would've been fine if we hadn't ... we'll see whether that's the right decision or not," said coach Doc Rivers. "I like this team, I've said it over and over again. I didn't think we needed to make changes."
Rajon Rondo at first declined to discuss the trade, then opened up a bit.
"I don't know, I don't know," said Rondo. "I hope it's for the best. Eddie House can drop 20, 30 [points off the bench] too. But [the players] don't make decision, we just play the game."
Ray Allen didn't feel a trade was necessary.
"I didn't think we were bad," said Allen. "We were good."
Even Lakers coach Phil Jackson got in on the act, questioning Danny Ainge's logic.
"I really don't know about that," he said. "I have a great respect for House's game. I don't know what you can improve on that credible shooting skill that he has. House really has a strike factor in his game that can really disturb a team."
I'd be happy to have a player like Nate, brings a lot of instant scoring and excitement, something this team needed.
