i really think he could be a huge addition to this Knicks' team... if we could get him straight up for Francis, i'd do it w/o any reservations.

You are insane, KMart is damaged goods...Kidd made him the player he was...He owes half his check to Jason Kidd...He is only a fast break type player with good defensive tendendies..Now that his knees are damaged, he is done...Please, we have had our lot of guys with bad kness...no thanks...Let Kiki sweat that one out...No bail outs here...Good luck and good riddance...

I'd send the lovely Dr. Lisa to look at his knee and consider the long term of his knee. Players can heal over time.

If Kenyon can return to some level and be conistant (it happens) is he more valuable here as a role player than we keeping a hold on Franics or Marbury? Stephon on Denver might make complete them. They might rather pay Marbury than Kmart.

Is it a gamble that might be worth consideration.

We know that players returning from knee surgery take a long time to return. But it happens.

Denver has too look at it as the risk between Kenyons knee vs. Marburys lovely disposition.

Now I have heard it all. This is Dice all over again. Kenyon for Marbury? WOW!!! They'd probably do it in a heartbeat and it would make them a really good team. What would it make us? Whats that like 12 fowards now?

Denver Nuggets notes
Frustrated Martin sits out second half

Denver Post Staff Writers

Los Angeles - Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin, who has dealt with injuries all season, was visibly frustrated Monday after seeing limited action in the first half and being told he would sit out the second half.

Several minutes passed in the third quarter before Martin finally arrived at the bench. He then put a towel over his head.

Martin was the first Nugget to leave the locker room after the game and declined comment. Teammate Ruben Patterson said it may be more than his knee injury that's bothering Martin.

"He ain't hurt or nothing," Patterson said. "He just wanted to be in the game. I don't want to get into details about that."

Later, he added: "I was a little worried about him. I'm a little frustrated by things. I've been with that guy since college. I've just got to keep his head up, because he's hurting right now.

"Not physically, just mentally. He wanted to be in the game tonight. He didn't get in the game. He was very angry. I've just got to stick by his side, me and D.J. (DerMarr Johnson). We are the only guys he communicates and talks to. But we need Kenyon, man."

The Nuggets reported that Martin was out with a left knee bruise in the second half.

Johnson and Patterson played at Cincinnati, as did Martin.

I want Francis gone, and believe it can be done, without making things worse by adding K-Mart.

Killa is right on both Francis and Marbury. Martin is a bad risk - its not just that he'll play 50 games - judging by the past 2 seasons, he'll play those games poorly.
His half-court offensive game seems to actually have gotten worse. His rebounding is crap.

If the Artest circus can get you Peja, then any off-court issue can be overlooked. Either Marbury or Francis, based on their talent, should do better than an unhealthy Kenyon strapped with a max-contract.
