    You're clueless. We all watched him run the 2 with striking frequency. The wing positions within Adelman's offense are strikingly similar, almost as striking as your stupidity.

    Dood, I agree with almost all of your post but making around 11 million a year isn't cheap in my book. Especially for a guy who only plays one side of the court (getting the occasional steal isn't a great defender to me).

    I'm a Martin fan but with reservation. I'm taking a wait and see approach on how he'll do as a Rocket.

    I agree with this.

    What interests me is seeing martin with a full year to gel with his new team and a full chance to thrive being back in Adelman's system. I'm curious if he will return to form.

    I also wonder how he would react under playoff pressure. I think he has the ego to play well, he seems like he could be a knife in the opposing team's heart kind of guy. Like he could draw important fouls and hit clutch free throws/important baskets and not have playoff pressure or tough home crowds affect him.

    Wow ok, Martin and Ariza started after the deadline. Martin started at the 2,Ariza started at the 3. Battier and Budinger would then come off the bench. And before you call someone else a rookie,make sure you aren't one yourself.

    Can a contributing member please do something with this guy??

    I'm sick of seeing him insult people for no reason at all!!
    There's no place for this kind of immaturity on this board in my opinion!!
    He spends more time trying to call people names than he does talking rox!!

    Get rid of him, please

    btw, any time bud was in with ariza or battier, he played the 2!! There's no arguing it, it happened!!

    If teams are dumping their superstars I doubt they'd want Martin's contract in return.

    Where does Martin rank among shooting guards? Whose better? Whose worse?

    you should probably rank all wings together.

    Kobe
    Lebron
    Wade
    Melo
    Pierce
    Durant
    Joe Johnson
    Roy

    ...are all clearly better. He is amongst the next group of good but not great wings.

    Martin
    Iggy
    Granger
    Ginobili
    Gay
    Ray Allen
    Tyreke Evans

    He's probably around the middle of the pack of that list. He's a great scorer but not as useful as the guys who play both sides of the ball like Manu, Iggy, and Granger.
