Kenyon Martin On His Way Out?:

Quote:

Yesterday informed sources near the Denver Nuggets divulged that George Karl has had enough of Kenyon Martin, and has asked the team to “get him off the team” – further discussions with sources near the Nuggets confirm that Kenyon has become disruptive to what George is trying to do and has openly criticized George in practices and in front of teammates – when he practices, which is rarely – The major concern is not Kenyon, but rather the effects Kenyon has on other players, with a source saying Kenyon has a large amount of influence in the locker room, and there is concern he could taint Carmelo Anthony, who is just starting to buy into Big George’s program…

We talking about Hoopword here? So take this with a grain of salt. I tell you this much, if we even think about getting K-Mart I'm going to be so livid. I do not want another overpaid player with a bum knee. Didn't we get enough of Allan Houston skipping back on defense? Give me a break. If this goes down I'm going to be telling some of you Zeke supporters...I told you so.

Successful Scenario
Due to Denver and New York being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Denver and New York had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

Noooooooooooooo!!!!!

I agree....I don't want any part of Kenyon Martin. Send him back to that other team across the Hudson so he can show off his bad *** yellow boy tat there.

Oh how the tide has change.

Kenyon Martin's contract is TOO long. That is where i draw the line, on a player who, although fairly young, has been injury prone, hasn't shown tremendous improvement, and is being paid franchise player money.

This is the problem with the NBA, max money is given out too easily, because if I don't pay you, someone else will. Oh Welp.

I love to watch Kenyon Martin play, but I don't love the price tag.

alphadog · 02-06-2006, 08:01 AM

It ain't happening. Where is he going to play? PF? Not with the young Frye on the team. SF? He has no SF game at all. No place for him and his HUGE contract. Nene and Watson...maybe. Not Martin.

The Bulls talked about a multi-team deal involving Denver, different than the one mentioned in the New York Post on Sunday involving Orlando’s Steve Francis going to the Nuggets. It’s also possible the Bulls were offered Denver power forward Kenyon Martin, a tough take with $70.8 million and five years left on his contract.

Good just what I want to see...let the Bulls take on that salary and that knee.

My first time on this Knicks board, so I just wanted to clear something up.....There are Isiah Thomas supporters on this board? Seriously? I mean, really, there are?

nah he was good for the team I'wish he would've stayed but not for 90 million dollars and I always said he was undersized without a low post game soon as he goes to Denver the injuries pop up and now like Kitty reported he's being disruptive in practice. George Karl does bust balls though players get tired of him after a few years he's an egomainiac
