<p class="style1"><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Kings might be close to signing Kevin Martin to a long-term extension. According to two league sources, the Kings have made the fourth-year shooting guard an offer of five years for approximately $55 million. Martin, who is entering the final season of his contract, is expected to be handsomely rewarded for his breakout 2006-07 season as an agreement could be reached this week.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (TheBeef)</div><div class='quotemain'>I think thats a great deal for the Kings....look at the numbers, Kevin Martin is the real deal....</div></p> Exactly. I've watched him a lot of games during the past 4 years and he has grown into a star. Very underrated throughout the league though. </p> </p>

"look at the numbers"? well then, i guess we might as well say stephon marbury used to be the best point guard in the league, too. </p> </p> a guy that small, and that weak...wouldn't that make him a defensive liability?</p>

The thing I like about Kevin Martin is that he knows how to get to the line very efficiently. No-brainer for the Kings...24 year old, coming off averaging 20 ppg? Gotta pay him.
The Kings have no choice but to give him this contract. Martin is a good player and I think he will prove he is worthy of this contract once Sacramento figures out what the heck they are doing.
