Nuggets Overpaid for Martin

3 1st rounders for an all-star is a steal in my mind. K-Mart tho is overrated but he is still a very good player. K-Mart pumps the crowds up in Home games too and startles the other team not that that means much lol. The 3 1st round picks will also suck because the Nuggets will be 4th seed and will get a mid 20 first round pick.

 

All martin is going to do is takae more shots away from the real star, melo. Shareef is a much much MUCH better basketball player than kenyon martin. identical career fg%. a whole rebound per game better and a whopping FIVE POINTS PER GAME better thats about another 400 points on the season and Abdur doesnt have Jkidd to make him look better than he is. Shareef may not be the defensive player martin is but he can carry a team on his back offensivley and go off for 40 point game (he even has a 50pt game under his belt which Kmart cannot do). Martin is also nutorious for collapsing under pressure, showing no toughness when bullied by a superior bigman. all u need to know about kenyon martin is in the last two games of the NBA finals against the spurs.

 

BTW, is it just that u guys disagree with me or did u forget it was my B-day :mrgreen:

 

Well that fact that shareef scores more doesn't seem as important with your other arguments. The argument that he'll just be taking away shots from melo, and you also stated that SAR and Kmart have very similar FG% which would mean, that no matter the amount of shots, they would have the same efficiency on offense. SAR doesn't have defense, and when you're in the west, i would rather have the PF be better at defense than offense. Obviously the big men of the west are better offensively, and you need someone to gaurd them. Trust me, kmart is better than SAR as far as defense. Well, thats my take, go ahead and argue back. I want to be enlightened....

Hahaha. Reef carrying a team?! Up to what? Early vacation?

KMart held his own against TD in the Finals. He was all alone against TD and the Admiral. He had foul trouble because of this and was playing sick during the last two games.

 

u can't assume that if Kmart took as many shots as SAR that he'd still maintain the high field goal percentage. Like I've said, in transation KMart is a mediocre offensive player. Mark Blount was one of the leaders in fg% last year. he hit over 50%. think he'd have hit that high a % if he had taken as many shots as paul pierce?

that's so true! but i want to see kmart w/out kidd, all i see martin do is dunk from unbelievable passes from Kidd. shareef is a better player overall then martin, martin is better on the defensive end, but shareef does more then dunks on offense. the nets did lose out though, 3 picks?! come on. but the nets are going all downhill from here...

 

OMG, the deal is a rip off for the nets. Its like that guy INnetsweTrust's sig, KMART for 3 frigging 1st rounder!??? Absolutely bad for Nets and steal for the nuggets. Nets could've at least traded him for Nene or something.

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting anthonyazn:</div><div class="quote_post">Nets didn't have a choice. Because Kmart was going to sign the fornt loaded contract, the Nets either had to make a trade or lose him for nothing. Because Kmart was under the rookie scale, the only thing they could get to match salary was the three picks. Three picks is better than nothing</div>Sounds like the Nets made a good move outta a bad situation. It sucks for the Nets but it couldve been worse.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting AllNet:</div><div class="quote_post">all those picks aee lottery protected so they likely will not get a player anywhere near as good as Martin with any of those selections.</div><div class="quote_poster">Quoting Ace2k2:</div><div class="quote_post">The 3 1st round picks will also suck because the Nuggets will be 4th seed and will get a mid 20 first round pick.</div>And that's why it is so lopsided.

 

ok u guys a idiots...if nj didnt do a sign n trade they would have been left in the dust because kenyon was about to sign an offer sheet and nj most likely wouldnt have matched n wouldve walked away with nothing so there lucky they got what they got. Now to my nuggets fans. if the nuggets had kmart last year let me tell u they would have lasted a whole lot more than 5 games bc i can name two of them where we lost bc of nene. no disrespect to the man but he wasnt rolling off the pick which allowed sam i am to embaress the nugs. all i can say is look out bc now we have a locker room presence,a fighter,and most importantly a ying for melos yang

hahaha maybe in shareefs prime he could put up a fight to kmart

K-Mart isnt a superstar yet hes a borderline all star. Hes still a Great player. The Nuggets realy needed him because we all know how much a team needs a good power forward in the West. Every good team has a good power forward. The Nuggets will be a 4th Seed now. The Draft picks will all be like in the mid 20s because Denver will be a good team not a lottery one.
