Nate Robinson will
re-sign with Celtics, a league source told Y! Sports.More info coming
soon.
It's a two-year deal worth approximately $4 million per
season, reports the Herald.
The Globe's Gary Washburn adds this:
There was one sticking point about Robinson's contract. He was
guaranteed a $1 million bonus if he played in 58 regular season games
and needed 28 appearances with the Celtics to reach that mark. He made
26 appearances and Robinson's representatives wondered whether the
Celtics purposely held Robinson out of two late-season games to prevent
him from earning the bonus.The Celtics added a second year to the contract as a concession for
Robinson, who averaged 6.5 points and shot 40 percent from the field
during the regular season.
For those wondering how the Celtics can afford to pay Nate $4 million, Chris Forsberg has the answer:
non-Bird Rights (which, ironically, are a form of
Bird Rights). they could have signed him at up to 120 percent of his
09-10 value
