I'd be pretty happy getting either one of them, for sure. I'd just like a little bit of defense available from the spot. If not, not a HUGE deal. But if we had to give up the same to get either player, I'd prefer Afflalo, personally. A weird thing I noticed with Martin's shot chart, he does most of his shooting on the left side of the court. Has for a while. I know as a bench player, he won't be playing starter's minutes with Aldridge, but seems like could be potential fit conflict there. Or, means nothing! Who knows. Just found it odd
Question... Would Kevin Martin be better than having Mo Williams? If your answer is yes, then Kevin Martin would be a much better version of Mo And still have a decent bench of Kaman, Blake, CJ, Freeland and Leonard
chandler is more 3/4, afflalo 2/3. And afflalo is a better defender. Edit: That is to say, it depends on the player often, but afflalo is never hidden from an assignment
@ESPNSteinLine: RT @ramonashelburne: Among the teams Denver has discussed Aaron Afflalo deals with --> Blazers, Bulls, Clippers, Heat, Kings
The Bulls are the only team that worry me... They have the Kings pick (top 10 protected) and young dudes.
I really hope not, just because let's say the Knicks give Wes a 4/63 would you really want Kevin Martin to be our 2015-16 day 1 starter?
@AlexKennedyNBA: The Nuggets want a first-rounder for Wilson Chandler (just like they want a first for Arron Afflalo). Clippers, Blazers have shown interest.
Okay, do you pass up 15 mil a year for 11ish? That 4 mil is a big deal and for all we know New York could grab Marc Gasol too. Wes would be a bigger star, expand his brand, be in an easier conference and make more money. I wouldn't even be mad if he left for that.
I hope to God we wouldn't match a huge deal like that for Wes. If he wants something bigger than what Batum got, you have to let him go imo. I'd cap him at 12mil, give him a 4/48 by the end of that contract he'd be 32 and likely beaten down because of his style of play.
I think it'd be sweet spot factoring in salary cap raising. I think it's raising 4 million next season, by 2016-17 and the new TV deal is in place projections are at 91.2 million.
