With or without K-Mart, I think the Rockets will be just against Minnesota. Glad to see he is back though.
LOL - Last month I would have been hoping this statement was a serious one. I will say though that Kevin has shown me lately that he has adjusted to the new rules and has gotten over the trade that never was. Given that, I'd say that Khan wouldn't do a Love for Martin and filler trade so I don't think Minny is going to get him anytime soon. Of course I'd take less than Love but I don't see anyone else on the roster that comes close to what I would consider - not even Rubio (since we have Lowry just needs some rest).
you wouldnt take derrick williams for martin ?!? it would really make out line up more atheltic and more well rounded dalembert scola williams lee lowry
The problem with this whole trading for Williams mess is that we don't need him. He's a fine player now and can only get better but we already have two rooks who play the same position (Morris and Parsons) who are/will produce in the future.
I'm all for getting young prospects that show some promise of turning into a superstar (ie that is what I'd trade Martin for), but Williams is someone I'd take a flyer on but wouldn't trade Martin for. I could be wrong but I don't see future star in him.
I still think he is a guy that is just not that important to team's success. The team plays fine with him or without him..... And if we can move him for a pick, or pick and prospects then go ahead and do it. His %s have come up, but overall he is down this year compared to last, and he is known to get injured a lot..... I like him, but would prefer that he and Luis (hurts to say that) get traded. DD
I agree that we were able to play ok without him and I'm not saying I wouldn't trade him especially for a 1-10 pick (not likely), or Cousins or someone similar (also not likely) but I think his play level was rising before his injury. However earlier in the season I would have taken Johnson, Beasley and/or Randolph for him. My pricetag has gone up since then. I will say I love Scola but I do think he'd be high on my trade list. I wouldn't just dump him like LA did to Odom but I'd be shopping him even if the result left us with Patterson and Hill (assuming we got a nice SF upgrade because same position trades rarely happen).
