The trade does not work at all.....by $10 million. NO would have to trade Okafor for this deal to work or ship Jarrett Jack to LA, and Trevor Ariza to Houston. This deal is far from over. http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=6mxzfsn
lol @ people now talking down to martin. last year he was an all-star and an underrated player but now he's some average player
I do! Big men really start to come into their prime in, like, their 11th year, especially when they have a lot of international wear and tear before ever coming stateside.
He actually shouldn't sleep. He better be saying "cooome ooon" to Nene, Chandler, Marc Gasol, and Howard
You don't even know what position he plays and yet you feel qualified to comment. Welcome to my ignore list.
I for one, never liked the guy because he flops way too much. But we did just trade two floppers for one flopper. So meh.
Jonathan_Feigen Jonathan Feigen It's a done deal all around, as much as can be till tomorrow, source said; Pau to Hou, Paul to LA, KMartin, Luis Scola, Goran Dragic to NO.
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/blog/ba...wp11564&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Houston? They picked up, by far, the second best player in this deal. They also gave up players in Scola and Kevin Martin who border on All-Star level talent on most nights, at least offensively. Paramount to the Rockets, apparently, is the cost-cutting. The team gets to acquire Pau Gasol while coming out about $13 million below the salary cap, enough to potentially sign Denver Nugget free agent Nene.

My point is that he's been very productive over the course of his career, and a 10-game sample size is far too small to be the basis for any kind of judgement about a player's future. I brought up Ariza because he's a perfect example of why you don't do this. He looked like he was going to tear the league up after the 2009 playoffs and turned out to be a very mediocre player the Rockets were lucky to get rid of.
Seems you don't either. Since he played PG in the NBA, you know...the league the Rockets play in. The one we are talking about and the one where Navarro is barely a average player.
