    If it insulted someone, then they aren't understanding something. Its not negative towards anyone other than him.

    It didn't bother me personally. I just thought you could insult him in a more direct and personal way, rather than grouping it together with something else.:grin:

    His was speaking for himself and 90% of the team. Not just "Kevin Martin". FYI

    TMac, Ariza, Artest and Martin have all left other teams on bad terms. I don't remember Chase saying he didn't get along with McHale.. But if it did, I would assume it was because Chase sleep walks through practice.

    Lowry is a hot head.. Ask the ref in a summer league.

    "I was telling Daryl, going into the season 90 percent of the people on the team felt like a trade asset," Martin said. "Having everybody looking over their shoulder, that's not going to get you anywhere. Hopefully, next year is a little different at the beginning, we get off to the right start and play like we did after the All-Star break."

    Clutch posted a link of a quote from Chase the day after he was traded to Minny, which stated that he and McHale bumped heads in the beginning, but then they starting seeing eye to eye after a while.

    Bud looked to be relieved to be in Minny from his introduction presser, but thats just me

    Playing like an asst will also get you nowhere.

    The only thing that bothers me is players need time to jell and learn how to play with each other. Our high turnover of players the last 3 years has upset our veteran players. Scola is just too peace-loving to complain (even after KLove played dirty on him). The young players just want a chance to play. But the FO really need to mend fences with players for HOU to become attractive again to UFAs.

    Oh I see your game. If Presti or Cuban trades a player you justify it so that it's not treating players like assets. If DM improves the team by trading a player there is no justification. :rolleyes:
