If I was a multi-millionaire, you would have never seen me playing in China. Remember, its not how much you make, its how much you keep. This dude needs cash. All those fools in China were desperate.
I think Martin has a bad at ude but I would take him in a heartbeep if it meant he would average more minutes than Bonner/Blair. Unfortunately, I think he would take Splitter's spot in the rotation.

Out of the fun question closet......
If pop can handle The Worm's at ude and craziness why would a little issue like K-Mart cause problems?
In the scheme of the NBA San Antonio is where insanity goes into Remission. Stephen Jackson was nearly a model citizen here not a crowd rushing brawler. Rodman died his hair a few times with not major incidents and nothing but a hall o fame legacy. In detroit and Chicago not so much.
Pop didn't handle him, he kicked him out as soon as he could for 10 cents on the $.
This is always my favorite surmise -- I haven't heard anything about the Spurs trying to [sign player x/trade for a certain kind of player]; therefore, the Spurs aren't even trying to [sign player x/trade for a certain kind of player].
He's been referred to as "CIA Pop" with pretty good reason.
^ Excellent clip.
Clips make little sense if he cares about contributing significant minutes ... Spurs and Knicks make the most sense out of the teams he is "considering" ... that are good teams that he could play a key role on. If he wants to just chase a ring then Heat or even Clips make more sense ...
If amare gets injured or in foul trouble Kmart makes plenty of sense ...
Obviously a third defensive minded big is a big hole on the SPurs roster ...
The Spurs could use a bit of toughness and at ude. Not sure if Kmart is the answer for that though. He can be a bit volatile.
I'm for trying to get Martin as he's better than Bonner/Blair. A playoff rotation of TD/Splitter/Martin is not bad - don't trust Bonner in the playoffs and Blair is too short. Martin can guard Dirk, Lamar, Alridge type players and fits well with either TD or Splitter. Spurs could do with some at ude - sometimes they're just toooo laid back.
Disagree. Clip's after Griffin, and Jordan, are pretty thin up front.
I dislike Martin, but he would be a near-perfect fit for the Spurs IMO..
He could play the 4 next to Duncan or Splitter, he can make the mid-range shot, he can block the occasional shot and he specializes in defending perimeter bigs..at ude aside, he's the ideal candidate..
He would also add toughness to this soft team..
With all that being said, I would be shocked if he joined the Spurs..
He could take Blair's starting spot. No place for him to start on any of the other teams.
He can have all of Blair's mins. I'm all for it. We NEED someone that will lay your ass out if you think your going to keep coming in the paint laying the ball up. One after another. We NEED a real on this team. It's a ing joke they way teams just know they can come in our paint at any point.
He's gonna sign with the Clippers
Did you read/hear that somewhere or is that your opinion?
IMO, wherever he signs, starting won't be a issue, as long as he gets significant minutes.
Nothing's been announced yet, but there's been mentions about Chauncey Billups and Vinny Del Negro reaching out to him. More than likely he'll announce it Fri/Sat.
Per Marc Spears, Yahoo "Martin is expected to decide by this weekend which NBA team he’ll join".

Thanks. I wouldn't be able to fault him for choosing the Clippers over the Spurs - especially considering how much they appear to want him. They are a very good team in a large market that gets a ton of coverage. I don't know if he would get as much playing time as he may get elsewhere, but I guess we'll find out how much of a factor that truly is.
I would still like to see him in a Spurs uniform, but I'm starting to think that the odds aren't in our favor.
He won't sign here IMHO. No FA ever wants to play here for some reason except for the very rare exception.
this is almost as bad as the Dwight thread.
balla gonna sign with LA, MIA or NY
While I don't see any way that Martin will sign with the Spurs, I have to say that him signing with the Clippers makes absolutely no sense. I'm sure he's heard of a young kid named Blake Griffin. I just don't see where he would play there.
For that matter, I don't see where Miami or the Fakers would make sense either, with Chris Bosh and Pau Gasol manning the PF positions with those respective clubs.
Meanwhile, the Spurs could give him an instant starting job alongside a future Hall-of-famer and the chance to go deep into the playoffs. However, I still don't see him choosing the Spurs over the other teams.
