Keeylay Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 http://www.all-nba-all-basketball.com/images/KEVIN_MARTIN1.jpg With Kevin Martin out of the picture the Kings have been winning more games then they did with him. Granted he only played in 5 games before he went into surgery with his wrist. With K. Martin the Kings were 1-4 and without K. Martin the Kings went 9-8 (positive) I honestly think if Kevin Martin shares the ball and trys to be more of a team player and not to steal all the Thunder away from T. Evans the Kings will play better, but if he always try to always be the play maker I don't know whats going to happen. What do you guys think?and I also think T. Evans numbers will go down in late Jan. when Martin is back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Feelgood Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I really like Kevin Martin, he's a great player, but does seem a bit selfish (maybe an understatement?). Though, once he comes back, I think Martin and Evans will make a great duo in the back court, then to add in Nocioni, Thompson, and a raw Hawes, they look decent.

Owner Real Deal Posted December 17, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Sacramento should deal him. Few will like that four-year deal, but I'm sure someone would bite, and maybe the Kings can get some talent back. Evans should be leading this team into April, not Martin.

Poe Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 The starting line up now without Martin seems to be Evans - Greene - Nocioni - Thompson - Hawes. That line up looks good, except Greene doesn't seem starter-ready to me. He has a load of talent, athleticism, and potential versatility with his size, but I'd prefer him coming off the bench as a sixth or seventh man. I think Martin will provide a more consistent scoring option than Greene. Evens - Martin - Nocioni - Thompson - Hawes, with Udrih, Greene, and May, Thomas, or Casspi getting the main minutes off the bench. That sounds like the best line up for the Kings moving forward, unless Martin proves to be ball-stopper and a real chemistry ruiner... then trade him for a good big I suppose.

Dash Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Definitely, Westphal emphasizes the motion offense a lot like Adelman and Kmart is simply a chucker. Evans deferred to him early on the season but with Martin, Evans has been spectacular. Not to mention the guy is statistically the worst defensive player in the entire league. Dude needs to go, he just doesn't fit anywhere on this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keeylay Posted December 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 If we do trade off K. Martin I really hope the Kings can get a decent big man who can rebound the ball, because that is something we really need that would be great.

Check my Stats Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Martin has always seemed like a ball stopper to me. Evans seems like a beast, might as well try and ditch the contract (Martin) and start over with a rebuild around Evans. That Thompson kid's stats look nice, don't watch him at all, but he looks like a keeper. You can easily get someone to bite on him in a deal I mean he was averaging 30 PPG before he got hurt, albeit on pretty poor percentages.
