Need to beat up on these bottom feeders at home. Should rest Wallace for this one too.

^^Agreed. Rest Wallace. Start Marshon at the 2 and move Joe to the 3. Give Mirza some time to reciprocate the whiteness that is the Wolves.

No happy with the MarShon thought. Let's double down on pasty and rock the Tocomotive.

Going to this one, sooo pumped. Got 2nd row upper deck. Should be a pretty good ticket. Definitely needs to be a win.

We should wear our black jerseys to really rub it in.

I do as well, too bad K-Mart is money hungry and minutes hungry rather than winning.

Jared Zwerling @JaredZwerling
Kenyon Martin still wants to return to the NBA and play for a championship-contending team, but believes worth is mini mid-level or higher.
30 Oct 12

Martin, 34, had hoped to sign with a title contender. Now, he'll be open to joining any NBA team.

"If someone calls me tomorrow, I don't care who it is, whether it's losing or winning at this point," Martin said. "If someone calls me tomorrow and wants me to come in, I'm going. Guys are going down and [teams] are like, 'Well, we are going to stick with what we got.' I'm like, 'Really?' I started questioning myself, 'Am I that bad of a guy?' "

Desperation for that mula.

Well he has a point. If Kris Humphries can make 12 mil, then K-Mart deserves more than the minimum.

K-Mart wants a Mid Level deal in November? Who is he kidding?

Im excited for this game tonight.. It's nice to have basketball back.. But somebody needs to tell Blatche that he's not Allen Iverson. Im gunna lose my mind if he takes another 4 of those crossover step back fadeaways.

K-Mart IS willing to take the veteran minimum.

As the article JJ linked to states:

The NBA season is nearly a week old, and Kenyon Martin doesn't know why he still can't find a job in the league. He helped the Los Angeles Clippers during their playoff run last season. His knee issues of the past no longer seem to trouble him. And he's even willing to take a contract for the league minimum.

The info about Kmart wanting a lot of info was old news. Yes, before the season started he wanted more money cuz he thought he was worth it. Now, he just wants to play at any cost.

We just have to wait and see how this team will work together.

I do think King will jump on any opportunity though, so I'm prepared for a move to happen at any moment this season. I think Hump, Marshon, and the Euro guys are the most likely to be traded, but who would take Hump's deal... I have no idea. That contract was designed for Orlando.

Keith Van Horn · Post #20 » by **Keith Van Horn** » Mon Nov 5, 2012 5:17 pm

I want to see Blatche with his back to the basket more tonight. No more face-up, dribbling through the legs, fade away shots.
