Adelman seeks talent upgrade, not interested in a patient rebuilding program

He wants AB

 

^ Book it -- Martin to the T-Wolves.

 

Who... me?

 

I'm agree that MIN's a good landing place for Martin, but outside of Pekovic, what else is even desirable from their roster?

They're not moving Love or Rubio, and their 2012 pick is already committed to NOH.

 

Fixed.

 

What could he want outside of Big Bad Brad Miller?

 

I like how candid Adelman is being about his roster. I haven't seem him like this in awhile. I like him in this expanded role. He gets to build his team the way he wants it. Should be interesting to watch. Hope he doesn't make the typical blunders and overpay for over-the-hill veterans.

 

Derrick Williams, the #2 pick from last season?

Anyways we can always trade him for peanuts if we need to clear cap space in the best case scenarios where we get Eric Gordon or Deron Williams

 

Martin for Future Lottery Pick

If T-Wolves are around 11 million under the cap then we should just trade him there as a salary dump. May even take back a contract like Wayne Ellington and get a future 1st round draft pick that is probably protected.

 

all of the sudden with love and rubio and out of a rockets uniform, Stern's minions will go back to sending martin to the line 9 times a game..book it.

 

Love to hear Adelman talking like this.....

It's a mortal lock .....(unless Kevin goes out in a deal for Howard)



Martin is an expiring and has value playing off a big like Love. Toss in Adelman's love/need for KMart and I'd say we get real value back.


I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that we pull Williams or some other stud via a 3 way.

 

No way Morey does this unless he really needs the cap space. He'd rather wait and use KMart as an expiring contract if nothing else.

 

If the Rockets like Derrick Williams enough, then KMart plus our own 1st rounder plus something else may be work for both teams.

 

Martin for Pekovic or Williams would be sweet.

 

Martin for a first rounder. My only concern is that he'll be motivated and wreck on a contract year but whatever it takes to sweeten the deal for the Magic.

 

If the Wolves can get under the cap, and they don't have anything that Morey likes, just send Kevin Martin there for a future pick and a TPE. Make sure it's unprotected, or at least very little protection, and make it for 2015 or 2016.

 

Martin for Pekovic please.

 

Martin and a non green-lighted Ariza could make that team pretty scary.

 

Minny seems like a good trading partner.

I don't think the Rockets could get Derrick Williams as he seems to be part of their core with Love and Rubio. But what about Wesley Johnson? They play the same position, he could be expendable.

How about Johnson, Pekovic and Brad Miller (Team Option expiring) for Martin.
Rockets of course would let Miller go.
