    He did the right thing though. Get that paper while you can.

    The way KD and Russ approach the game, I think that’s something I’ll bring to Minnesota


    When I think of what Kevin Martin brings to a team, it's exactly what KD and "Russ" would bring to a team.

    Kevin Martin is full of ****. He never seriously considered OKC once he heard $28,000,000 from the Wolves. Also, there is no way that he seriously thinks the Timberwolves are remotely similar to the Thunder.

    I don't blame him for taking the money, but be honest about it.

    He was considering returning to OKC. Until the T-Wolves offer. From there he considered OKC returning their phone call about how he's considering something else.

    i really miss Kmart :(

    he was a true competitor and a great Rocket

    played the game with class

    very unselfish, efficient and effective player

    i really think he would be a great addition to our team in the future w Dwight. pure shooter and doesnt need the ball all the time to be effective

    Do I think he'd have signed with the Thunder for a bit less than 4yr/$28? Yes.

    Do I think OKC made an offer anywhere remotely close to that number? Nope. If the luxury tax was the breaking point, the Thunder would've only offered him something crappy, like 4yr/$15mil. There's certainly good reason why Presti asked for Lamb in the Harden trade.

    He's a good player, but I doubt he ever gave serious consideration to taking less money. In any case, the pups have no choice but to overpay. Sucks for them, but whatever.

    His time in OKC really soured me on him, a pity since I was a big fan of his game prior to the trade. But honestly if he can't step up his game when his team needs him the most then I'd rather not have him on the squad taking up capspace.

    He had a pretty good year stat wise. Probably one of the most efficient years ever in his career. What didnt you like about it out of curiosity? during playoffs, he lost his PG so it made things more difficult but overall he did ok
