Chipmunk is back! How many post game interviews in his short time lat year did this guy have last year with Norma? 3? 4? This was a no brainer based on that.
hes not even gonna play with ford, calderon and jones to play point. if hes just there to be an assistant coach type person thats used for a peace keeper in the locker room than why not just make him a part of our staff?

Is it just me, or is Calderon not that good? Ugh I can make a rant about him but it'll be too long.
Martin was our team motivator, I'm happy with this move. I hope he'll become assistant coach of our team soon.

I don't think he's capable of starting or logging significant minutes but i do believe he's worth giving some development time to (10-15 min a game). He came out and played some good games at the beginning of last season before he got fatigued. He's definitely a work in progress but i think he's serviceable. I wouldn't be surprised if we cut his playing time a lot and we shifted everyone down a spot to get more playing time. If we put Jones, Mopete and Graham on the floor (when tj's not on) we'd be doing well in terms of perimeter defense which has sucked for the most part.

Obviously it's really for the coaching role he brings, not for his actualy court presence. He's out PG injury insurance too.
His jumpshot was not consistent, the major weakness of him is probably his 3 point shooting. Just horrible...
