For Nate Robinson, the ship may be sinking, and his dispute with Mike D'Antoni may be coming to a head.
D'Antoni's war with Robinson deepened yesterday when the Knicks coach made his strongest statement yet on how far Robinson is buried.
Though backup guard Larry Hughes could miss tonight's game in Chicago because of a strained left groin, and the Knicks are coming off a heartbreaking 94-87 loss to Charlotte that snapped their four-game winning streak, D'Antoni said he hasn't given a thought to turning back to Robinson.
D'Antoni's remark infuriated the Robinson camp, which has been patient in not asking for a trade. Agent Eric Goodwin firmly declined comment. However, it is expected if Hughes doesn't play and Robinson still sits, his representatives will spring into action. Last season, Stephon Marbury consulted with the Players' Association during his banishment.
This will be interesting. Robinson is in his last year of the contract. How many teams will be interted to take a look for Robinson?
