http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ys-freeagentbuzz072509&prov=yhoo&type=lgnsNate Robinson(notes) is close to signing a one-year, $5 million contract with the New York Knicks, a source with knowledge of the talks said Saturday. The deal is expected to be finalized early this week.
Robinson, a restricted free agent, was courted by Greek team Olympiakos. He averaged a career-best 17.2 points and 4.1 assists in 74 games with the Knicks last season. New York, which nearly traded Robinson to Sacramento midway through the season, is trying to preserve as much salary-cap room as possible for the 2010 free-agent class
That's a good move. Allows us to keep Nate for another year, and possibly resign him in 2010.
