I was never a huge fan either. I wanted us to trade him for Horford, or Favors or someone. Hell, I'd take Favors over him still.
That line of thinking always cracks me up. Like when does it stop. Because essentially we would have never ended up with Brandon Roy if it wasn't for LaRue Martin somewhere along the way.
Well.... actually, maybe not. If we had traded him when the initial rumors came out in 2013, we probably would have had a much higher pick in 2015 than the 23rd where we picked up Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. We traded RHJ for Plums and the rest is history.
