is easily the best shooter in the NBA right now.

I would take him for this team, this system before anyone -LeBron. Anyone.

The guy flat out never, ever misses. Its actually quite scary to watch. Its like hes put magnets in the balls or something. Right now, today, he's better then Ray Ray, better then Redd, better then Manu even better the Rip. Hes like super-Houston with lateral movement and some D.


Argh. That said, I just checked tonight and he went 5-19. Still, one swallow does not make her my girlfriend (or something like that)

I would trade anyone outside of Chandler for him. Nate, Gallo, Craw, Zach, MDA, Chucky in corporate sales anyone.

I'm still trying to figure out how he doesn't snap his wrist in two different places the way he shoots. It's like he dislocates it and pops it back in on the release.

Yeah, very weird release. Doesnt jump that high on it either (ie not springing from his theighs, more like he takes the power from his shoulders/upper body. Doesnt bode well for long-term health).

Still, cant argue with the results though.

I don't want Kevin Martin for the max.

The thing I like about Kevin Martin is that in addition to being an excellent three point shooter, he also takes it to the hole and draws contact. Last season, he averaged 9.5 free throw attempts per game and shot 87% from the foul line.

Over LeBron? I like Kevin Martin but that is a tad overboard my friend.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

maybe I am going over the deep end, but in this system with this coach, I would take Martin over Amare and Paul. I forgot about Kobe fair enough, but for this team i would take him over KG. As a player.

As a captain and teammate, KGs probably the best in a good few decades. One could argue that KGs value to any team is more predicated on his presence that almost anything else. Hes up there with the Willis Reeds as legendary captains go. But based on skills and positional value to THIS team, I think i would take Martin over KG

not me... i would trade D Lee & Kevin Martin to get KG in a heartbeat... his value isn't just as a leader... he plays hard on both ends of the floor, he's an awesome rebounder, blocks shots, great passer & he's a matchup nightmare for most PF's w/his size & ability to take it on the floor & shoot off the dribble... there isn't anything that guy can't do... there aren't many perpetual MVP type players like him, Kobe, Lebron & Duncan in the NBA.
