It's a shame they didn't look for a trade to secure this kid. I'd have given them McDermott. Maybe even Snell, but we didn't have the salaries. Would not have given them Taj.
This guy gets to the Ft stripe at the same clip as Gasol this year!
He's going nowhere up there and now that KG is back in the fold, he's like 4th down the list in popularity there. Wiggins, LoVine and KG are all more popular than him I would think.
He won't see the playoffs the next 2 years and after that he'll be 35 and not getting an 8mil deal.
Here he could have been part of some deep runs the next 2 years and built a legacy in a major city.
But I'm also damn glad he didn't end up on WAS. That was my biggest fear.
Than again maybe we didn't want this guy if he wasn't begging to be traded to a contender.

Re: Kevin Martin (Potential Buyout w/the Timberwolves)
I'm not overly optimistic he'll be brought out, but I'm not sure I would take that report of the Flip saying he wouldn't be brought out as gospel. That was before the deadline. If you're hoping to trade someone, you don't tell everyone you're going to buy him out if he doesn't get traded, because that would guarantee that nobody would give you anything for him.

Re: Kevin Martin (Potential Buyout w/the Timberwolves)
The thing that makes most sense is that people have heard KMart is getting bought out and thought it meant Kevin when it really meant Kenyon

Re: Kevin Martin (Potential Buyout w/the Timberwolves)
The Wolves announcers were laughing about how ridiculous the buyout rumor was during their game today.
Kevin Martin quote on getting bought out: “Thanks to Miley Cyrus, I guess ignorant things still go viral.”

You guys nail this upcoming pick I think the Wolves bounce back quick.
Living the "Baby Bulls" years, we've proven the current Sixers model doesn't end well.
Sota is doing a mix of young talent and vets like KMart and now KG to show the young guys the ropes. Call me crazy, but I think the franchise is in a better spot for the long haul than when y'all had Love.
Reinsdorf & Co. - sell the team!!
