thinking long-term...what happens to frye if we trade for kmart?

kmart has a long contract. he's also a guy that wants PT. granted, he may be injured so that can be monitored throughout the season, but when it counts, he'll want the minutes and we'll probably have to give it to him.

so where does that leave frye? is he projected to be a starter for us? will this type of deal impede him or be counterproductive, not only for him, but for us? or would this just be a case of swapping headache for headache and then "we'll work it out later"?

or do we immediately go back into the one player away mode in another year or two and then move frye for that "one player"?

Who knows how Larry will play them. The veteran will probably get every minute possible while Frye sits a lot more than last year (in which he still sat too much).

IN two years assuming Frye gets his defense together as I think he can grow into a decent enough player, then its his job.

Of course he likely gets traded before then.

unfortunately, that's probably true...which is why i posed this question.

I don't think Frye gets traded, with Curry unable to play 30 minutes a night and Kmart having knee issues I think it makes sense to have a healthy big who can play a lot of minutes. We need one more defensive big and let Lee play some PF as well as SF and the bigs situation would be fine.

wy does it have to be 1 or the other? There are plenty of minutes to have Martin Frye Curry see substantial floor time.

LB or whomever else isn't going to play 12 men forever.

i agree, we can play all three plenty of minutes...but in another year or so, when/if frye is ready, what happens? kmart goes to bench? trade kmart? that can't happen b/c of his deal. this is all predicated on frye getting better and being able to start one day.

I've said from the start, just say no to kmart, not only is he damaged goods (both physically and mentally) they hire immigrant workers illegally.

It depends on who is sitting at the Small forward.

Lets be real, as front court of Eddie and Frye is a bit soft.

I want Curry to be traded for whatever we can get for him. I'd give him 'til October in case he showed he was serious and got in top shape.

dj, I have been trying to figure out the point of the Francis move, since there were rumors of him coming here. Every year, we seem to get in a worse position, than we were in the year before.

Ohh, and the Mo T trade looks worse and worse by the day.
