Acquiring a true center and ridding yourself of a ball hog in Martin and an old PF to make room for your young PFs. Backup PG can be addressed in free agency.

As opposed to....

PG - Lowry/Dragic
SG - Martin/Lamb
SF - Parsons/White
PF - Patterson/Morris/Jones
C - Scola

you're calling pau gasol a true center :rofl:
there are easy way to make room for younger PF
just amnesty scola instead of eating gasol big contract and count toward the cap space
we are eyeing camby+asik at center

I figure with Kobe on the Lakers you would know what a ball hog is because Martin is a far cry from that

This doesn not help Houston. Need to go back to the drawing board.

Before you do, tho, I have one major question in regards to your reasoning: on what Earth is Kevin Martin considered a "ball hog?"

Even Martin's biggest critics (most post here on RealGM ;) ) will acknowledge that Martin's strength is that he does not require the ball in his hands to be efficient. Martin is not the team's primary ball-handler. More often than not even Luis Scola controls the ball more than Martin.

If you consider Kevin Martin to be a "ball hog" to the point that it is one of your major reasons why Houston should consider this then forget going back to the drawing board...go back to drafting class! :lol:
