    Yes, but now we're incredibly thin at the frontcourt with Landry gone.

    Why trade a legit post option for a scoring guard - something we already have?

    Is a combination of a scoring, subpar defensive backcourt better than the duo of a scoring PG and 6MOTY power forward?

    That's a temporary problem my friend. It'll be addressed tomorrow or in the off-season.

    You all thought T-mac was bad? Watch the hate for K-mart when the honeymoon is over for this arranged marriage.

    I really get tired of the overstatement ppl constantly do of labelling players "injury-prone". Brooks doesn't handle pressure well (how many times have we seen Brooks lose the ball against the double team in the last 3 minutes?). He would absolutely love to unload some of that pressure on a true, bonafide scorer (which, I'm sorry, Ariza is not). KMart has the experience of carrying a team on his back and has huge highs when he's up there.

    Martin averaged nearly 10 ft attemps last season...top 3 in this league.

    Even if they are similar, which they aren't, the argument seems stupid.

    I mean, do you think the Lakers think, "We have Kobe, what does Lebron bring to the team that Kobe doesn't?"

    he's tmac lite (without drama) but just as injury prone and at half the cost.

    His FT attempts are going to decline, I just know it maybe there is another move this summer.
    I hope so because as it stands now K-mart and Yao isn't going to cut it.

    He's a 6'7" two guard who gets to the line more than most players in the league and can shoot 40% from the 3. I'll take it. He dropped 48 on Memphis this year.
