The NBA could fine Knicks guard Nate Robinson for his agent asking the team to trade him.

A club source told the New York Daily News that the league has investigated comments made by agent Aaron Goodwin in which he criticized Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni for benching Robinson.

"I can't allow Nate to rot on Mike's bench and not do anything about it. I can't allow this to happen to his career," Goodwin said on Dec. 19. "It's clear that Mike D'Antoni doesn't want to play him."

The league will fine Robinson if it decides he did instruct Goodwin to publicly demand a trade.

In September, the league fined Stephen Jackson $25,000 for, in demanding a trade, making "public statements detrimental to the NBA."
