Martin will wear #23 for the Spurs. Let's see what he's got.
Best SG on the team
Is Rasual Butler the better player tho?

All his previous teams expected him to be a primary option, which wasn't possible with his lack of defense and FT-reliant style of play(which doesn't work in the playoffs), but he should thrive in a 4th wing scorer role..

Agreed, in a limited role, he'll score in bunches. I'm excited to see his cutting ability as we've lacked that since Beli got his payday.Quote:

Hey BatManu can you post 2015 highlights of Rasual Butler? Chinook wants to compare
Hopefully Manu can make him better, tbh... He saved Beli's career and got him a great new deal...Quote:

First thing that crossed my mind when I heard we were signing him, and thus why I made that other thread about Green minutes... :toastQuote:

Difference is Danny got paid now tbhQuote:

I'm super hyped to get him tbh, always been a fan of his in the past. I think he will be the difference maker in the playoffs.Quote:

Klay Thompson before Klay Thompson
I'm pumped for this, our SG position has been very flat and inconsistent this year.
Hopefully we can give him a run as a starter before playoffs and see how he goes.
2013 feels like a lifetime ago, fuck Green if possible
their relative talent, dimwit.Quote:

Nothing to do with this thread, and the poster already stated why he mentioned it after I asked him..Quote:

The last few players to wear #23 for the Spurs have been duds. Let's hope he reverses the trend.
He is a nice pickup especially at 6'7" , but I'm suprised his shot is not blocked more with that akward shot, then again that's probably how he draws his fouls.
dude is gonna be feasting playing with Mills/Manu/BorisQuote:

Should provide some needed 3 pt help with Danny in a slump year.
Wolves went with the youth movement early on. He actually had a 37pt game before he fell in the rotation. Highest a Spur has scored this season is 36 by LamarcusQuote:

I'm suss on anyone who picks #23 tbh
Both local and NBA
I am hoping that he can bring some much needed scoring. Green is far too streaky and he is inconsistent inside the arc. This season he has also been inconsistent beyond the arc. The Spurs needed a player that is a threat inside and out. To eliminate Green on offense all it takes is a good closeout to force him to dribble in and the offense stalls. Can't do that against Martin because he can kill you outside and inside.
I had to look the last one up. Austin Daye. Got waived for Reggie Williams. Not a significant upgrade in any way.Quote:

It's not a Shawn Marion release, it's actually like Curry the way he jumps & releases the ball. It's just that his shooting pocket is his entire body including his chest like Marion.:lolQuote:

The new big 3? Leonard, Aldridge, Martin?
Don't ge too excited, Martin won't be winning any defensive battles, which is the other side of that coin. I do think Martin is a better player, but "better" is so subjective as to leave a lot of leeway in interpretation. I think that you're right that he's better for us than Butler. But, if a team needed a defensive minded forward, Butler would be better.Quote:

Last night I dreamed Manu was traded to the Nuggets... to make room for Martin AND keep Butler...
That number... with that name, i have to say it makes for a good lookin jersey.
So when does this dude play? Is he gonna suit up against the Bulls tonight? Bulls are one of the crappier teams without Butler that the Spurs will play in the next few weeks, might as well give him some burn tonight
Is this guy a end of season rental or will he be around for a while?

Green turns up the intensity by having a capable replacement behind him. Green seems to have responded well to
pressure coming from within the team. This team desperately needs to become more of a 3pt threat. When/if that happens,
we can compete with anyone. We lose a bit of defense, but we are fine in that respect. Kmart is a good fit for our needs now.
Can't wait for his first 3 to drop.
FollowFirst Spurs shootaround for Kevin is in the books! Stay tuned for video!

Dat shooting form... ugh
If he plays well he could be back next year. Duncan/Gino will likley retire.Quote:

His form is awful but the release seems to be quick enough to offset it. He never could have hit that many 3s if the form was bad enough to be unusable.
His form is rough but it's a non factor. Doubt Chip does much to it since he's had success from behind the 3pt line.

"Illustrious" perhaps?
If Martin comes in and starts hitting shots right away, Green will go the way of Bruce Bowen and find himself on the bench OR with less playing time. His defense hasn't been good enough to make up for his lack of offense. Green's play may not hurt the Spurs against lesser teams but against some of the potential playoff opponents, it will.Quote:

I think you can let that go already. This dude hasn't done squat yet.Quote:

Hopefully he does for us what Pop is hoping he can do.
Ok. I fucked up using the wrong word that tmtsc called me out on..Quote:

Not going to speak for Chinook, but I believe he questioned his fit in our offense.Quote:

Martin is something else. I think he offers whatever Pop was hoping to get from Jimmer, but Jimmer didn't provide it and got cut. I think Martin has much better chances of bringing that instant offense, but I want to see it when it matters b4 I join this congregation. :lol
KYou seem like an intelligent poster and I respect that..Quote:

We can get Green and Martin screen for each other. Looking forward to this!Quote:

The scary thing is he will probably more open than he has ever been in his career if he can just knock down the shots. He averages in his career 17.6 ppg and just last season averaged 20ppg. Didn't have the same numbers this year since he didn't play as much. It was a huge upgrade with this move.

What does Kevin Martin bring, Pop? “Kevin’s’ basically a scorer. He’s an experienced NBA player and he scores."
Will Sean refer to him as "the ball boy"?
