    I think it's blatantly obvious that Courtney Lee should be officially the full time starter over Kevin Martin. He's the real deal and a clutch scorer on the wing who ALSO can play some serious defense. Not to mention Goran Dragic is definitely closing the gap between him and Kyle Lowry...thoughts?

    I agree with Courtney Lee starting over KMart and he should have been starting a month ago...but I would still start Kyle Lowry over Goran. Goran is a great bench player but I dont like the way he matches up against other good point guards in the NBA like Kyle Lowry does

    I'd love to resign Lee and trade Martin for a draft pick.

    Well.. we can definitely get something good in a Kyle/Dragic & Martin trade. We're in a good position right now. Hope we make the right move to decide our backcourt for the future.

    I've been saying Lee>Martin for months. Dragic is definitely closing the gap and I'd like to see one get traded with Kmart and Scola for a legit big in the off season.

    Lowry should still start, because goran is good off the bench. Kmart is not even....worth playing.

    Lol Dragic's going to give management some second thought about who should they keep.

    I think it should be blatantly obvious by now that rather than using our capspace to look for some "dream" free agent, we should instead resign Lee and Dragic. Honestly I was for the "no extensions" rule but seeing our guys explode during their contract years DM and co. should really rethink that position, it was done to prevent guys like Curry who'd only work during their contract years but with the quality of Rox players all it ends up doing is we lose our players due to the market price being too high.

    Also, Kmart's go to go....preferably for a young stud like Marshon Brooks.

    We're not going to get a stud like Brooks for Martin. We're going to have to draft that kind of talent. Austin Rivers has that potential.

    Why does Lee have to start? As long as he plays the same minutes it's fine. Martin always starts out well, if anything just play Lee in the 4th over Martin, but benching Martin in the 1st quarter is dumb.

    Wish we could go back and trade Martin for Gortat. Not such a bad deal now.

    I like Morey but man if we don't see both Lee and Dragic next season, then it would be a huge punch in the gut for me. I think they have proven themselves to be more than capable of staying. Morey, all you have to do is figure out what to do with Martin and all these picks waiting to be traded.

    The fact that its even a debate is pretty remarkable. They are the deepest team in the NBA when healthy.

    Word was that Morey was trying hard to trade Martin a week or so ago. If you cant get value for him, then you cant damage your cap flexibility in the future by trading him. If he's better than Martin, he will get the majority of the minutes anyways like he has been even before Martin sat with the injury.

    Morey will have some big decisons to make come draft day, but until then lets just enjoy the depth and see where this team ends up at the end of the season.

    I like Dragic intensity on the court. I prefer him over Lowry honestly. And I've loved Lee since we traded that loser for him. I hope we keep them both

    I really enjoy watching Lee and Dragic more than Martin and Lowry. Lowry will get his spot back but I wouldn't be surprised if Martin becomes our sixth man.

    I love seeing all the new people to the Courtney Lee bandwagon, I've been placing bets up and down Clutchfans that Lee is the player Morey truly covets and wasn't going anywhere.

    Easiest way to know a trade rumor is bs? When it involves us giving up Lee for a mid level star. It wasn't happening on Morey's watch.

    Lee = the kind of player other NBA stars want to play with period and since we never got value for Kevin, that's the only reason why Lee hasn't been given that position. But don't fear Clutchfans, Kevin Martin will be a $12 million expiring star talent in some franchise's eyes next season and you won't have to wait until the deadline before he is moved.

    Kyle should definitely keep starting... but Lee has without a doubt earned a starting spot in my opinion.
