    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Kenyon Martin once wanted a contract extension from the New Jersey Nets.

    Now he just wants out.

    Martin has broken off contract talks with the Nets and has asked for a trade, reports ESPN.com's David Aldridge.

    Martin, who has one year remaining on his Nets contract, reportedly was seeking a six-year extension worth approximately $87 million, but Aldridge reports the Nets have offered him roughly $66 million.

    Martin is not eligible for a new contract until July 2004. He is scheduled to make $5.1 million this season.

    Martin produced the best numbers of his three-year career last season, averaging 16.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. He increased his averages to 18.9 points and 9.4 rebounds during the playoffs when the Nets reached the NBA Finals for a second consecutive season.</div>

    Martin's gotta be insane. I don't think ANY team will offer him $87 million. it's like he thinks he's a 20 and 10 guy and has been that way for a good 2 or 3 years.

    If they have it they should give him the money, this may sound crazy, but they will need him in the future.
