    His voice squeaks sometimes.

    Martin has had his moments here - I appreciate those - But IMO - it's time to move on.

    I don't see Martin entering the training camp with the Rockets. He's next to be dealt.

    Martin has to get over the Aldeman and Budinger Love affair.

    Good find. Thanks.

    It must be a weird feeling just waiting for the (trade) shoe to drop.
    But it sounds like he is taking the right approach -- working hard in the gym.
    Some folks, like Raymond Felton for example, start eating when there is uncertainty and worries. Others, like KMart, put their heads down and get busy trying to improve themselves. Good for him.

    This type of stuff makes me upset.

    All he cares about it money. He doesn't care that he had a horrible year last year and let the team down with his performance. He just wants to land a big contract next year.

    He obviously works well with some coaches and not so much with others. The rockets should trade him to Minnesota for Pekovic and a pick. I'm sure Coach A would love to reunite with him again.

    I think his trade value is at an all time low so I'm not against hanging on to him until the deadline. Now if we move him in a deal for Dwight I'm cool with that too. No way he re-signs here when his contract is up so no need to drag this out too far.

    Small Ball scoring line-up, Lin, Lamb, Martin, Parsons, Motie. That line up puts up points right?

    I wish we could keep Martin if we made a big trade -- for whatever reason I think he and Lin would work well together. Martin is a pure scorer with a solid inside presence he would be very good with the extra space.
