    Stro is playing well lately and he is a similar type player as Kmart. I would not give up Stro for Kmart. Stro also makes less money than Kmart. I really want to see how Stro performs this season before I trade him.....i think he's got potential.

    Okay, I changed my mind. I wouldn't take KMart over Artest. :D

    I forgot his contract was that big and for that long. If $ was equal, I'd take KMart over Artest.

    I would do it if I was an East team, but KMart should've stayed East, because he sucks out West.

    Stro is better value wise, and if I was Les and wanted to trade for a max contract player, it would DEFINITELY not be KMart.

    Also, just to put things in perspective, Elton Brand signed a very similar contract to Martin's (at least compatible). Brand's averaging 25/11/3/3, and Martin's averaging 12/5/1/1. Again, you do the math.

    I agree. Najera is a lot less money and can still bang down low. He will provide some toughness off the bench and get us some extra rebounding help

    Nope, he isn't. Duncan has him for breakfast, lunch, and dinner....anytime he wants him. Denver will never beat the Spurs in a series as long as Duncan is playing against KMart..........unless Duncan pulls a Hakeem and tries to outlive his career.

    K-Martin only is great when he play under Run-and-gun offense system, and with a PG like Nash or Kidd, else he's just a Swift. Same as Stoudemare.

    Isn't K-mart's game a lot like Swift?? Both are tough, atheletic, decent rebounder, & great finisher, but cannot create their own shot??

    Earl Watson would be a great addition. Maybe in exchange for Wesley. No Kmart.

    Only difference is martin can shoot decent mid-ranged jumper, and he is much stronger and can beat up most ppl in NBA. :) Swift have longer arms i think.

    they can create their own shot, but its not pretty and i'm not paying to watch them squirm around like a dying seal perpetrating some kind of offense.

    K-Mart is radioactive with that ridiculous contract. If we ever have 3 max contracts, K-Marts won't be one of them.

    KMARTIN got his MAX CONTRACT from JASON KIDD just like how
    JOE JOHNSON got his MAX CONTRACT from STEVE NASH




    OVER-RATED!!

    KMart us one of the only NBA players I truley despise. Im still waiting for the day when some other NBA player with balls takes that overated, overpaid phony OUT for showboating after every score on their home court. Am I alone here? Ughh!

    Martin can't shoot, can't rebound and can't play defense. How would he help out the Rockets? He is the most over paid player in the NBA.

    k-mart gets paid too much, he's a whiner, always hurt, and owes Jkidd half his money for inflating his stats. Not only that but he pulled a disappearing act last year in the playoffs. If he played up to expectations this season Denver would have had the meanest frontcourt in the league so far.
