    Even though I like Kevin Martin, I think we do have to prepare for the possibility that this is similar to when we acquired McGrady; a player who "used" to be a great shooter who has seen his efficiency drop each year.

    I hope that is not the case and that Martin bounces back to his high performance levels on a new team, back in Rick's system and especially with Yao drawing attention.

    It is still possible though. So I am cautiously optimistic.

    Exactly Tmac shot 35% before the yr he was traded to us. That yr he shot 41% for the magic, they gave him the boot over injuries and he became a consistent 40% shooter... its all too familiar.

    They actually gave him the boot because he was about to be a FA and said he would not stay with the Magic.

    Phx doesn't want expiring contracts. Their fear has been that Amare would leave at the end of the season, and they'd end up with nothing. They want good contracts.

    Idk what you are talking about still.

    Tmac dominated when we got him, it was everyone else that sucked on the team then...

    A lot could be handled differently, but the TMAC trade itself back then was a great trade. You don't have many opportunities to acquire a superstar in this league. I remembered that our offer(3 starters including Francis&Mobley) is far from the best offer Magic can get. It's TMAC's willingness to play with yao and Magics' willingness to get rid of TMAC made the trade possible.

    With Martin on our team, do we have a chance to go after the free agents this upcoming summer now?

    Only via sign and trade or mid class, just like before the Martin trade really.
