He was just sending a message. He must be mad/depressed but within a short amount of time he will fully recover.
Should we trade Kevin Martin? Yes we should. Should we trade him now? No, not until he plays better to raise his trade value.
God damn its only been 1 game, yall need to chill. Budinger went through a bad shooting slump early last season and got out of it, just give KMart couple of games
Why do sum fan's wanna keep Martin he plays -0 (D) and only draw fouls. Yes he might be a pure shooter but pure shooters that dont play D never last long in the Nba. Trade His Ass Now!
Not only should we trade K-Mart for a better player; we should trade all of our players for better players. Then keep doing it over and over until we have the 15 best players in the NBA. I don't think that is how trades work though.
Martin could pop off and score 40+ the next game and I still think he should still be traded. He's our greatest "asset" so he's going to field the best offer(s) and Courtney Lee really deserves more PT.
Steve Novak made 3s...... look at him now... just saying. The man does not play physical whatsoever. when he gets the ball, he fakes then passes the ball. When we had t-mac, he created his own shots and when he had the ball most of all know his chances of making is extremely High. When Martin shoots, it doesnt suprise me that he misses. PLUS most of his points were free throws.
Guy WAS traded TWICE this offseason...remember "basketball reasons". I think Martin will be in Minnesota by season's end.
^ book it..i'm with you rockets934life. But i'm still thinking who in that Minny roster would fit well in our team..
Stupid poll. Trade KMart for someone better? Sure, I'd do that. I think any Rockets fan would do that for just anybody on the Team. Scola for Gasol? Sure, I'd do that. How about Patterson for Demarcus Cousins? Fact is that KMart had a bad game. If he's still not producing in say, 20 games, and still sour from the whole trade incident, then we should move him, but a knee-jerk trade based on one game is the way you start losing value. Look at what happened with Lamar Odom. Traded for basically a pick upgrade? Terrible.
Should Dallas kick the Mavericks out b/c they suck for 2 games? Geez, some people start threads over the dumbest things.
There are a lot of people here who don't understand human body language and social cues. His behavior and interviews since the vetoed trade have been that of a hurt personality. IMO, Martin is a sensitive guy. He obviously doesn't want to help the Houston Rockets anymore, since he feels betrayed by them. He is NOT going to revert back to the normal Kevin Martin unless he has a heart to heart talk with someone high within the organization to clear the air. If we're not tanking, then we cannot afford to just let this fester and for him to shoot like Bud did at the beginning of last year. He gets too many minutes and will dig us into too many deep holes.
I would hope we dump Scola before Martin. Dudes just slowing down the development of Hill and Patterson while playing Zero D!!!!
