I said for a workout, he might turn out to be better than Joseph & Neal at point!!
..... who knows but its worth a shot!
TJ and Manu come back around all-star break. That's two playmakers and essentially point guards returning.
Arenas would just be another Neal, and another TP in the sense that we have another pass-2nd PG.
if the spurs are willing to pay luxury tax money, they could have a good chance at martin for these 3 reasons:
1. they can offer the mini-mid level, which (most probably) matches the highest bidder
2. the spurs would make martin the starting PF (which no one else can promise - from the teams that claim to have interest in him) and thus grant him the wish of playing a reasonable number of minutes
3. if the spurs hover around .550 without ginobili by feb 16, they can claim to be a much better team with manu and martin in the starting 5 - probably a .670 team - which might satisfy his request of playing for a contender
still, no 1 and no 2 are the best reasons for his coming over.
Not that this is exactly breaking news, but if anyone heard Broussard in the Bulls/Heat pregame or read the quotes from Billups and Del Negro in HoopsHype today, it sounds like Martin is a virtual lock to end up a Clipper.
Not surprisingly, Billups has been recruiting him for a while and equally as not surprising, there's not a single quote about Jefferson or Duncan about recruiting him, even though those two should have been working on him for a while.
I don't get this team. I've never been a Martin fan and we can poke holes in his game all day long (like we do with every potential acquisition, as if a prime Duncan is going to fall into this team's hands), the reality is this: Unless they can turn Jefferson into a large expiring contract, such as Okur's, then use Okur's contract, along with the usual suspects, to acquire a half decent big, Martin is the best they can do. He's got the toughness and swagger this team desperately lacks and is still one of the better power forward defenders in the league.
They should be doing whatever they can to sign him, like giving him a partially guaranteed second season, with an agreement beforehand that he'll be waived in time for the start of free agency. Then they could potentially not increase payroll at all (depending on the partially guaranteed number, if they trade Anderson and waive Thomas) or do so only minimally.
We have a nice guy called Bonner an a lil fat named Blair. We don't need Martin.
Is there any truth to the reports, or just mere speculation?
Sorry, no 3-23 should wear the Spurs uniform... I pass.
Whats Sheed's status? I havent heard anything about him since the rumours of his comeback. Spurs would be wise to go after him again.. provided he can still run up and down the court.
We need another big, a third big, so before anyone dismisses Martin, actually think about it.
We should know soon where K-Mart will go:

Andy Miller, Martin’s agent, reiterated by text Monday that Martin will make his decision “by week’s end.”
No to this guy please.
So, because YOU haven't heard anything, it automatically means they aren't reaching out. Got it.
If you were a multi-millionaire....and you were looking at these cities....
Miami
Los Angeles
New York
San Antonio?
c'mon....where would you go?
...and where would you most certainly...not go?
Fat. Out of shape. Unmotivated. Selfish. Money-needy. You should really Google Sam Smith's cautionary column about any team stupid enough to want this waste wad.
A team decided it was better to pay him to go away. That team is correct. It's kind of sad because he came out in the same draft as Parker, but Arenas is ing DONE. The mulitple surgeries have robbed him of any athletic edge he had, and now he has to rely on basketball IQ, which he totally lacks.
K-Mart would be a great addition, IMO. Spurs could use a little fire on the defensive end, and anyone out there grabbing boards is a plus. Pop usually keeps the guys with at ude in check. What are the major downfalls of adding him to the roster?
Never been a fan of Kenyon Martin. The guy carries a bad at ude and just isn't the type of guy you want in the locker room, imo. I'd rather take my chances with Bonner, Blair and Splitter right now. Splitter has gradually improved as the season has progress. Also, Gilbert Arenas? Please...that dude's been washed up for seasons now.....
lol lips tatoo on his neck
anyway no....
we only need a serviceable big, how come not call dice since his doing all....a big who can defend and reb is all we need, the offense will come to them
tbh it'd be between New York and San Antonio. And if I'm K-Mart I don't want to go be Stats' backup in NYC, it's not like they're doing too hot right now. Spurs are missing a couple of pieces, New York's missing needs depth all over the ing place. You couldn't pay me to live in LA or hole Miami. If I were Kenyon Martin I'd go to where I could start.
Martin is not that good, and I don't think he'd play well next to Duncan or Splitter.
Martin never played well next to Nene. We do need a bigman, but martin is not it
pretty much the same info we have heard before:
http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_yl...tin_nba_013112Kenyon Martin is expected to decide by this weekend which NBA team he’ll join, league sources told Yahoo! Sports. The Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks have expressed interest in signing the veteran forward.
“He’s a veteran guy who knows how to win at a high level and in a playoff environment,” one NBA general manager said. “He also plays multiple positions. If you get him to a situation where he can be an Antonio McDyess-type of guy, that’s a heck of a guy to add to your roster.”
I wonder if that "Antonio McDyess-type of guy" quote was from RC Buford...
I am talking about CITIES....
I am pointing out that if you already have millions...you look at which city you will be spending your time, your youth and your money on....
NY,LA & Miami have a lot of things that $$ can buy and let's face it...they ALL are much more happening than sleepy San Antonio...not hating on SA just being realistic....
If you have millions...you can definitely see yourself in a nice modern "Architectural Digest" type home overlooking the ocean....and your wife/kids going to the best school/places that money can buy, etc....
Instead of being "stranded" in the san antonio desert just to be playing behind Matt in' Bonner (sorry-couldn't resist a little Bonner-bashing )...
Be realistic...and honest.
we need a big that can fit in like a glove. Kaman comes to mind, Camby if he had been healthy
