    No one is denying that Martin is a monster, but I just don't seen him coming to Houston. Not happening.

    i`m sure i read that NJ wasn`t going to offer favors because they thought he was "scary good".

    but if they did

    favors
    murphy (expiring)
    humphries (expiring)
    1st round pick

    that`s a nice deal for DEN.

    Martin ( top tier player)
    Budinger(young talent)
    Hill (young talent)
    Jeffries(expiring)
    1st round pick

    That would blow anything NJ could offer.

    Yup, if the NYtimes is right, I would take that package over Kevin Martin + picks.

    Shouldn't the NY times be telling us how Melo will really end up at the Knicks for nothing? that's pretty much what all the NY press has been saying is guaranteed for a month now :p

    It depends on how much you value Favors. The Nets can offer expirings as well, and a #1 pick. Would a package of Martin, Budinger and Hill be enough to move into the top 3 of a NBA draft? I doubt it.

    We're not trading Martin. We're trading Brooks.

    Yeah, there was rumors that Philly was practically giving away the #2 pick if a team took Brand off their books as well, but I think they balked at it at the last minute because of the Iggy issues.

    We could absorb some of their bad contracts like JR Smith or Chris Anderson as well.

    Do the Nets have a TPE? If so, is it larger than the Rockets?

    How do you say so?

    Most reports have us dealing Martin in any Melo trade.

    Not if Melo agrees to sign the extension.

    that's just speculation here. We're not dealing Martin. We're dealing Brooks, expirings, Budinger, Hill, and picks.

    Well yeah if you wanna take on massive bad contracts like Brands and kill your future cap space then it would be enough. Morey doesn't seem to be that kind of guy.
