<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Kenyon Martin: The Nuggets were working on a three-way with Orlando and the Knicks last week, but it appears to be dead. Kiki Vandeweghe is in a rough spot. Maybe he's not worth $92.5 million, and yes, the Nuggets are 9-4 when K-Mart is out. Why give up on him already? It's a luxury tax issue, compounded by a character issue. Basically, they think he's nuts.</div> hah. http://www.nj.com/search/index.ssf?/base/c...r?coldal&coll=1
ANd for you sir, this was written in the Star-Ledger, a New Jersey paper, if you don't read. Secondly, I had made several comments in the past about how Martin was shaky and did not deserve his contract... but for all I've been here, I don't remember you as a consistent Nets fan. Must be one of those bandwagon people.

I think that it does relate to the Nets. They could have resigned Martin without getting the draft picks. If they had done that, then I think that things would be different right now. The Nets would have have been in as bad a situation as Martin would have put them in had things played out with him as they are playing out with the Nuggets right now. We tend to follow the descisions that a team made, but we seldom follow the descision a team could have made. I think that one would be a Nets-hater to think that what is going on with Martin is not related. It really makes me feel good that the Martin "give-away" was a positive move. Let's see what will happen with Shareef next season .

He called me a "bandwagon" fan, and not that I care what he says, but its funny how he brings that in, out of nowhere. And I am not concerned that its posted here. I said he doesn't play for the team. I don't care if its in here, it just has nothing to do with the Nets. Its printed in a NJ paper because they have NBA writers. The title of the article is "Knicks look to make trade as deadline dooms." That has nothing to do with the Nets, its an NBA article. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting nextlevelgame:</div><div class="quote_post">They wouldn't have written it if Kenyon did not have a stint with the Nets.</div> It wouldn't have? Hmm, interesting, since the article is about Knicks trades and people who may get traded before the deadline. <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Star Ledger:</div><div class="quote_post">Here are some of the people that might get shipped out before Thursday's 3 p.m. deadline:</div> Thread over.

It all starts back with the Nets. What exactly are you gaining from this? Kenyon Martin was a Net, correct? NOw that he isn't, am I not allowed to follow the rest of his career? Do I have to stop being a fan? I'm not the only person in this thread that cared about Kenyon. Is that so hard to comprehend?

The title of the article is "Knicks look to make trade as deadline dooms." That has nothing to do with the Nets, its an NBA article.</div> Kenyon was a Net and a recognized player in New Jersey. One of the fan favorites, an NJ paper would print it beacause there are plenty of readers here who would be interested ie. me, my collegues, etc. I don't think there is any other state except Denver and New York (which basically has bandwagon Nets fans now that the Knicks suck) that would care as much about it. Just let it go. I apologize for claiming you as a bandwagon fan, but you're taking this too far and too off topic. If you're so concerned about New Jersey Nets topics, quit deviating from it in this topic.
