HOU - MN (Martin - Beasley)

[Breakdown777]

I think this is starting to get kind of petty. I'm sure the "convincing" part of Love/Beas duos' inabilities were on the defensive end. I'm hopeful that improvement can come, and am willing to give it a season.
Some guys like to tinker with rosters more than others. Some fans have more patience or willingness to wait and see. Some guys never change their opinion and defend it to the death until eventually a segment of their argument is validated.
I still have plenty of faith and hope in Beasley, but in some aspects I can see where the anti-Beasley guys are coming from. It's the same reason many of us didn't want to draft Derrick Williams when the season was over. We just convinced ourselves overtime that it was the only logical decision, then convinced ourselves that we can make it work. Some fans never changed the original popular thought on the situation (that DW7LL coming in means Beas is out), and they are the ones who still want a change sooner than later.
I think their are two groups of thought surrounding Beasley on this team; Those that feel the writing is on the wall, and those that feel like their is still some writing left to do.

It would seem that having a coach would play a lot into this. Depending on the new coach this could be a very good trade as far as balancing the roster. The players to be sent to Houston are familar to their coaches. If Adelman became the Wolves coach, then he might have some input on Martin. Not sure the picks need to be included. Maybe another team could be involved, but the salaries match up.

I'm not a fan of this idea, but would sending Martin to PHI for Iguodala in a three-way might improve fit? Doesn't PHI have Jodi Meeks starting at SG, and Evan Turner sort of locked behind Iguodala? We'd get a more defensive component -- but I still thinnk with Iguodala's contract, he is not worth Beasley.
