    Because They really need a PF badly. T.Rob is young enough to work within their age group. And T. Rob right now won't hurt their tank job

    Kevin Martin is currently out because of an injury at this exact moment.

    Maybe he has been "more" healthy but I wouldn't say he has been pretty healthy lately.

    I posted this update in another thread yesterday (from rotorworld.com):

    "Kevin Martin (wrist) and Nikola Pekovic (ankle) were full participants in practice on Monday.
    It's clear that Martin's wrist injury is healthy and he should be ready to go soon. There is talk of Martin going through a D-League stint, but the loss of Shabazz Muhammad (abdominal) may change that. If Martin is available, he's worth a look in standard leagues."

    I wanted to let others vote before I weighed in. Honestly, I'd be happy with any of the above as it would help our bench, add depth and increase or chances in the playoffs.

    That said, I voted for Martin. He's the most dynamic scorer of the bunch. He can shoot from the outside or drive and draw fouls. He gets to the line a lot, where he is a career 87% FT shooter. He would give us a tremendous boost in bench scoring - a role he played, and played well, for an OKC team that won 60 games two seasons ago.

    Ultimately, I'll let Neil work his magic, or not. He knows what we need, what's available, what it will cost us and how it will impact team chemistry. What I want doesn't really matter. I'll trust the guy who just got the three year contract extension. He earned it.

    Paul probably has Neil on a short leash.

    I agree with this post... I trust in Neil as well. If Neil thinks no move is a good move, then I'm fine with that.

    Lol for what? They need a PF to tank properly? I think not having a PF helps them tank! Philly is going to tank for at least one more season after this one. They can get long term pieces out of FA, they don't need trades this season to do that.

    Who's the other genius who voted for Prince? I know we got OneLife, BDSF, and myself. Who is the fourth!?

    Yeah, that's why he just gave him a 3-year extension.

    Seriously, you want to keep your GM on a short leash, you keep him on a series of 1-year contracts so you can dump him if he doesn't do your bidding. You don't extend him for 3 more years.

    No for their future bro... But T.Rob isn't good enough to win them games right now. He would get plenty of playing time in Philly, so he can develop into a decent big for next season

    He has shown ZERO improvement since he entered the league. Something tells me all the PT in the world isn't going to make Thomas Robinson into a decent NBA big man.

    All the more reason to trade him, if he has any value at all - even if his only value is as an expiring contract.

    To the contrary, I think it more likely he would learn lots of bad habits, if not simply build on the ones he already has.

    But by all means lets tell him it's for his own good. ;)
