I think that with any trade package going out, Bud should be added to it. I'm sure any GM and owner would be happy. Let's say the Rockets want to send Brooks to Sac for Cousins. Adding Bud to that would make it better. I remember reading that Phillie was big on Bud. Why not add Bud in a package for Iguodala?
I don't know about Bud in a package. I'm pretty sure that's what got Michael Beasley in trouble last year...
I'm sorry, but Martin is a big part of our offense. He really is not the problem. Even Kobe becomes a chucker sometimes. Yes, his defense sucks, but he is still a big contributor to this team. Now Bud is not the problem. He is just a problem that is confusing everyone. What is going on with him? All of a sudden he can't hit anything. I beleive that he is shell shocked from the injuries. He needs to get over that ****.
Dude, throw some Miller in that package, and you've got a winner. You start with Miller, and bust out the Bud later on to cap off the night, or vice versa depending on your strategy. The combination makes for a quite GLORIOUS experience, and truthfully, is hard to turn down. Good point, man... definitely trade bait.
Problem is the league sees the same thing we all see, while Martin has serious value to certain teams. Hey, I'm a BIG Bud fan but I can't ignore his shot has been way off. I liked his game tonight but he still is having issues with his shot and that is concerning. I think he will get packaged with someone but it may be smarter to hold on to him and if you're going to move anyone, lets move the guy who can get you more in return.
I see your point, but an Iguodala for Martin package is somewhat of a wash to me. The two would go perfect together on the team.
Bud needs to start or go to the D-league and start there. He needs to get on the floor and work it out. DD
See I look at it this way, production wise I think its a wash but defensively it would make a HUGE difference and help out Aaron BIGTIME. Again, I like Martin but he needs to be on a team that can utilize his skills better and he doesn't need to be the "man".
I don't really see much point in trading for a player like Iggy(who's going to be 27 in two months) if we're pretty close to rebuilding and starting from scratch... We just to trade for young players and draft picks(see my signature), and start collecting those lottery pin pong balls!! --RB
Iguodala is more of a now move. It's still too early for what you're suggesting. With the proper and timely additions, they could go on a couple of winning spurts before the end of the season.
It's not unusual for players to slip their sophomore year. I wouldn't throw Chase in just to be rid of him.
