After releasing Glen Rice Jr., the Washington Wizards cleared a roster spot. Their need for a combo-guard is no secret. With that said, the team has reportedly expressed interest in signing Nate Robinson, who’s been waived by the Boston Celtics.

The Denver Nuggets traded Nate Robinson to Boston in exchange for Jameer Nelson earlier this week, but the Celtics later waived Robinson.

The Wizards were reportedly interested in Nate Robinson two seasons ago, but he opted to sign with the Nuggets instead.

Washington wanted to keep an open roster spot, in case a veteran free agent becomes available, and it looks like they’d want Nate Robinson to fill the final spot.

The 5’9″ combo guard suffered a torn ACL this past season, and hasn’t played well in his return. Although the Wizards could use a spark off the bench, I’m not sure Nate Robinson has much left to offer.

In 33 games this season, Robinson has put up less than 6 points per contest on less than 35% shooting.

The Wizards don’t have a combo-guard, and they could do worse than Nate Robinson. While his shooting hasn’t been great, Robinson is still capable of scoring off the bench.

Still, I think the Washington Wizards should wait and see who else becomes available.

We’re about a month away from the trade deadline and teams typically waive the players they fail to deal. If someone like Marcus Thornton becomes available, the Wizards might be better off waiting rather than signing Nate Robinson.

I’m not surprised that Washington is interested in Robinson, given how many times they’ve been linked to him in the rumor mill. He’s not the same player he used to be, but he wouldn’t be a bad 15th man either. The Los Angeles Clippers waived Jordan Farmar earlier today, so he might also become another option for Washington.
