    From Fool's Gold to No Gold?

    Nah, they are still fouls and he'll get free throws when the Rockets are in the penalty.

    And this will hurt other teams as well.

    Uhhh, the rip-through is a KD/LeBron move, Martin is mostly fakes. And the funny thing is when he does try rip-through moves they wouldn't call it at all, much less shooting foul.

    Is it just coincidence, or is there something to the timing of this rule change announcement and the possible K-Mart trade????

    Martin should be fine. He's a good player with a great shooting touch. He is smart so he will be able to adjust his game. I mean just because they changed the rules, doesn't mean he can't find another way to score. Martin was scoring like that because he usually find the easiest way to draw fouls.

    He is quick with a great shooting touch and a smart player. Im sure he will adjust his game and find new ways to score. So he will be fine.

    What you guys don't realize is that the second rule is the one that screws him, not the rip-through. He pump fakes, then he jumps into the player BEFORE he starts his shooting motion. :(

    Now that Martin can't get to the line anymore he has turned into an expensive spot up shooter.

    Trading Martin this low wouldn't be worth it. What we should do is showcase against the sorry teams and sell him high to minny. He needs RA's system to be at his best.
