Rumor: Bulls Looking at Martell Webster

[Clint Eastwood]

We have Martell Webster. He's called Kyle Korver here, and we shall love him and squeeze him and call him Ashton.

post of the year. sigged, in fact if you dont mind. i hope this is truly meant to be a bugs bunny quote variant.

He said they formulated their argument on eight games. I won't call him a name because that's against the rules, but the logic and validity of that statement is ... umm .. indication enough.

The knock on him is if he has the ability to put the ball on the floor, which he showed he could do during the preseason before the injury.

Kahn is a huge fan of Webster, I doubt he'd just give him away for peanuts.

The argument seems that is along the line of he morphed into good player since becoming a TWolve. We don't need to discuss what he did in Portland, when he wasn't hurt he was terrible. And we all laughed at Khan when he traded for a guy everyone knew was hurt.

While Taj Gibson is a good player, I'm not sure why the Wolves would be targeting anyways, with Love, Darko, and Beasley on the roster there aren't many minutes left at the 4/5.

Pretty much. I don't think we'd give up Gibson in the first place. And since you already paid a steep price for Webster, no sense in dumping him.

I'm not arguing you would or should give up Gibson. I'm just stating that it makes no sense for the Wolves to even target him. The fit just isn't there, and the cost to get Gibson is much greater than the value he'd bring to the Wolves. His value to the Bulls, and many other teams, is far greater than it is to the Wolves.

I completely agree with that.

And I didn't trash Webster completely. I like Kyle Korver. And I called him a Kyle Korver type. He's a shooter, a bit more athletic and able to finish at the hoop. But he'd be duplicative here.

I love how Wolves fans have formulated this argument about how great and underrated Webster is, based on the sample size of 8 or so games he has played for them.

My bad, I thought we were talking about Martell Webster, the guy drafted in 2005 that's played 309 regular season games, not to mention preseason and playoff games.

He's been terrible when he's played as evidenced by his career 11.1 per. Oh and his contract sucks too. Please give me tangible evidence that this isn't a mediocre to poor player with a bad contract without some stupid ass hyperbole. Thanks

"which way did he go? which way did he go?" said Bogans in a dummy voice while watching another 2 guard blow by him for a layup.

Please define "terrible".

Stupid ass hyperbole? I would say that's exactly the route you've taken with "terrible".

Evidence? I think he showed a sign of the player he can be if given the opportunity last January when Roy was hurt.

Well I came over here to say that Webster has looked pretty good for Minnesota so far but it has only been 10 games. I guess I don't have to now. Ooops, I just did.

[dougthonus]

I will join others in saying I can't imagine what the Bulls would offer that the T-Wolves wouldn't immediately reject. There are pieces we could offer, but nothing that makes sense for both sides unless the Wolves just want cash.

If the Wolves had 13 men on the roster, so that we could add several players to build up the salary tehn maybe something would have been workable, but there's no way to make a real match.

I heard Minny is looking for a PG, lol

You know, because that is all we apparently draft, right? Like Wayne Ellington, Wes Johnson, Lazar Hayward.

[JohnnyKILLroy]

If we're talking the T-Pups I would be more interested in their Brewer or Ellington. I think over all they carry about the same value (maybe not Wayne) and I think we could get them on the cheap.

Guess I'm confused. Considering there are 3 on the roster and most teams carry 3, I wasn't sure why we needed another one. And then one is an expiring and the idea is to replace the one who is expiring with one who is stashed overseas, again leaving us at 3.
