    I don't care about Kevin Martin that much..... he is an asset
    He sure can get his money here or elsewhere.

    I'll give him some credit. He didn't have a great game tonight, but he did more than I expected playing under the weather. He at least tried to make plays throughout the game.

    He has new coach and new system. He will pick up his game eventually.

    People need to stop making excuses for him. I think he's becoming a TMAC. All down hill from here on now. He's been like that for a couple of years now.

    LOL of course people hate on the thread but you guys know it's true. He needs to pick up his play or I'm going to lose money! Plus the Rockets will benefit from better production from him. ;)

    i'll just say this, it looks real ugly when he drives to the hoop since he's not getting a foul call

    there's two completely polar sides in the Kevin Martin camp..

    He is effective, but not on this Rockets squad and where it's headed. He is holding us back, so it's best if we jettison him for whatever we can get.

    Lee, Parsons, and Dragic will get more time and experience instead, that is where we should put our focus.


    I have similar thoughts on Scola

    Kevin Martin is definitively sucking from a fantasy basketball perspective especially if you compare his current stats to previous years. He's not making as much 3's and missing more shots. I think that's the OP point everyone.

    It's early in the season with a short training camp.
    A new coach.
    A new system.
    He had the flu.

    Besides a healthy tmac, Martin is by far the best shooting guard we have had for years and years, maybe we should be glad we got him instead of always complaining about him.

    I was so psyched to see Martin on the board so I scooped him up and was expecting an avalanche of 3's and points. Instead I get a rich man's Nick Young. That's waiver material!!

    I didn't think Lowry was going to switch on god-mode this season. You're right, he is killing it. Speaking of sleepers, picking Rubio up in round 12 is making me look real smart.

    I love you Daryl, but I would have really loved you If you would have drafted Marshon Brooks to go with Chandler Parsons...

    I think Kevin Martin will turn it around. This is what I would call a "buy low" If you are in a fantasy league... :)

    Thank Steve Novak.....he brought a more versatile Parsons

    Indeed it is a tough cookie. because Donatas cannot prove himself yet.
    Minnesota picked

    I don't think Minny would let us reacquire Parsons and get Marshon at the 23. I am not sure how bad they want Mirotic. I mean the Bulls eventually got the MVP of the month in the EuroLeague.

    I am extremely impressed with this so called weak draft. Marshon would have been a ridiculously awesome Martin replacement. He has the skillset of a game closer. Nearly all his points come from isolations which is really, really scary.

    Chandler Parsons is an awesome player, and I love Marshon Brooks. I can't wait to see some Marcus Morris in action. The Rockets are obviously super high on his potential. He has his work cut out for him to beat Chandler Parsons out at the SF.

    This aint no weak draft..... people are just being ridiculous....its above mediocre........ the crops of 2009 are pretty redundant..... Well maybe Hill can be that special bench guy. Flynn can improve, Twill may too.
