Stanley Robinson was traded today to the Milwaukee Bucks in a trade that involved the Minnesota Timberwolves adding Glen Davis and Udonis Haslem. The team is expected to retire his number up into the rafters in Target Stadium.
The expect to retire his number before their upcomming match up at home against the Milwaukee Bucks during day 64 of the BBS.
When news came out that Stanley was traded, teammates were greatly upset and had a lot to say about their hero and leader.
When reporters met up with a teary Austin Rivers it was obvious he was upset about the team trading Stanley Robinson.
"He [Stanley Robinson] was just a great teammate. He'd come up to you during practice after a bad pass or bad shot and say, 'hey, atleast you get to play' or 'you are a hundred times better than me' which would always cheer you up."
Austin refused to comment more about his hero as it was obvious that Stanley was very sentimental to Austin.
Reporters met up with Stanley after the Timerwolves 116-115 win over the Trailblazers where Stanley 2 points with 3 TO's in 17 minutes of play.
"My minutes decreased this season significantly and I was a free agent at the end of the season so I was expecting a trade. I didn't expect the Timberwolves to go over the hardcap to resign me so It was definitely something I saw. I appreciate GM YB and the Timberwolves organization deciding to retire my number even before I myself have retired. I will always have a spot in my heart for the T-Wolves and maybe, just maybe, I'll make a return later in my career. As for now, my allegiances are to the Milwaukee Bucks. I would like to thank the media of the Timberwolves and all of the Timberwolves' fans for their great support."
Stanley Robinson will probably be most likely be remembered as the man who the Timberwolves offered for Okafor or possibly the man who was the 3rd option on the 21-61 Timberwolves team in 2011.
So far this season, Stanley has averaged 2.7 PPG and 31.3 FG% in 11.9 Minutes. His numbers declined after the addition of Thabo last season which forced him to play PF which was uncomfortable for him to learn.
