You are right about one thing -- I didn't give any credit to Robinson. The article was not about Robinson. It was about the agent. I actually like Nate Robinson. And I understand exactly why Goodwin did what he did. I just think that if he was trying to get Robinson more playing time, publicly requesting a trade was not the correct way to do it.

His agent spoke out on Dec 28th and in their next home game Nate was given time to play. It is easy for us on the outside to point at Goodwin, but there may be more to this story then you think. In the end are we going to remember Goodwin's comments or Nate's 41 points? D'Antoni has been known to hold personal grudges on players, and ever since Nate shot the ball on his own basket he hasn't seen much court time. Maybe Goodwin's actions were necessary for Nate to see more time. Goodwin could have wisley told Nate to say that he disagreed with his agent's comments.....sometimes the pasth less taken is the one with success. I would assume the his agent did pay for the fine.
