    i have not heard much about him, i think if he and kyle can come back healthy before playoff time and they can slide into the bench role then we will be a deadly team

    Morey sounded as if he actually expects Kyle back before Martin.

    I can't wait for having him back. He will help taking some scoring load off of others, atleast for the first half. I'm pretty sure we will end the game playing Lee instead of Martin. But I am looking forward to having him back for the playoffs. If he explodes for a couple 30 point games -- that would be awesome.

    yeah, kmart has always kept a low profile, so its kinda hard to keep up with what happends to him.

    Bullard tweeted the opposite today haha.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>“@<a href="https://twitter.com/ThisGuyNameMO">ThisGuyNameMO</a>: when are K-Mart and K-Low coming back?" KMart has been shooting, looks pretty good. Still hurts. Lowry is not close.</p>&mdash; Matt Bullard (@bull50) <a href="https://twitter.com/bull50/status/187576751336075264" data-datetime="2012-04-04T16:25:57+00:00">April 4, 2012</a></blockquote>

    heck yeah, i agree with this, if him and kyle really wanna win then they can help the team in the 2nd unit, and the coaches can figure out how they can figure out who starts and who does not during the summer. im liking the starter team as it is right now

    People need to stop hating on Martin.

    Root for the Rockets to find a way to make him as effective as he was under Adleman, not that he gets traded for nothing.

    He actually was pretty effective before he got injured. Anyway I would love to have both of those guys back before the end of the season. If they could get in a few games before the playoffs that would really help. I wouldn't want to switch out starters this late but if we make it to the playoffs having Kyle and Kevin back would definitely help. Plus it makes it easier to trade them as assets in the off season.

    Im not the biggest K-mart fan, but he would be a great scorer off the bench that the rockets desperatly need now that dragic and lee are starting. So everyone who is saying he needs to stay out for the rest of the season clearly does not know what they are talking about

    My conspiracy self makes me think they are simply going to part ways this summer and have a gentelman's agreement to say he is injured.

    If Martin comes back, he will start off the bench, but I'd expect he'll be back in the starting spot come the end of the season. Historically, he's a much more consistent player. He's been playing hurt this year and that could have a lot to do with his 2 pt performances this season.

    lowry/dragic, kmart, cbud, patterson, and dally sounds like a great bench

    His lactation was causing players to slip into him, causing a foul.

    Sounds a lot like our starting line-up at the beginning of the season.
