    Poll coming soon.

    So with the deadline I feel like Martin was the primary guy to ship out, considering his play has been less than spectacular, he seems happy when the team fails and his play is weak. Some even think he is unhappy to be here. Of all the players to ship out, I feel like this was it. Anyone else disappointed?

    I wouldn't mind playing him off the bench for the remainder of the season.

    The way the team has been moving the ball lately, and with some locker room leadership with Camby and maybe fisher, I'll give him the rest of the season to redeem himself.

    I am neutral.

    Depends how he handles himself going forward. I'm not usually in favor of trading people when they're playing they're worst, but damn has he been in free fall.

    Never sell low. The only reason to trade Martin is to tank, and it's too late for that.

    As much as I hate Martin right now, it was smart. It's always stupid to sell low.

    Now that the trade deadline is over, he'll go back to his old self and average his 20ppg. I'm just glad we didn't just give him away and traded him for nothing.

    His value was at an all-time low.

    We probably got offers, but it would've been selling ourselves really short compared to what his expiring will be worth.

    Pretty sure K-Mart masterminded his poor play. Risky move but it payed off for him.

    No he won't the rules have changed, and he needs a particular type of system to excel.

    And no matter how many points he scores, he always negates that by giving up as many or more.

    I hope they get rid of him at the draft, he is not worth it, and is holding back better players who could use the time in Lee and Budinger.

    I'm sure an entire year of mostly garbage play won't come back to bite him once he's trying to negotiate his next contract either. :eek:

    Morey wouldn't include him in a deal for Bogut. Then they didn't want to take on SJax, same years as Martin but less money, but the Spurs do and did?

    I'm pretty sure the Bucks didn't want him. Not that Morey wouldn't offer him.

    The Spurs have a far better track record as a front office than the Rockets do.
