ESPN: Spurs Emerging as Favorites to Sign Kevin Martin

[BillMc]

Kyrie to Spurs confirmed

Do it RC!

Random and off-topic, but Stephen A. Smith is reporting that Kyrie Irving is "not happy" in Cleveland

Who would be. Cleveland is like one of the most depressing big cities in America.

[coachmac87]

Cut Bonner for Martin, if he does get bought out and Spurs do indeed have interest in signing him. Bonner can then take his appointed place in the Spurs front office. Simple as that.

That's the obvious choice. But I feel Spurs value somebody who's been with them a decade for somebody who's been here 6 months. The injury is an easy cop out for the Spurs but we will see

Cavs
anyone that compared them to the Heatles

Does Martin get more than Vets minimum next year as a FA? Yes

Is Butler out of the league after this season? Yes.

Next

Melting down.

[Chinook]

Maybe so, but RIGHT NOW, the Spurs would sign Butler over Martin based on this year's results. Everyone isn't living in the past like you are.

You are trying to make Butler out to be an above-average perimeter defender, which he's never been. So there's probably room for compromise.

[benefactor]

...oh you greys.

Never change.

[Chinook]

Oh like that's a fair comparison...

I mean, one got a min deal, the other got $18 Million this season.

[Hoops Czar]

Butler is only getting playing time because Simmons has been pretty bad and now, all of a sudden, he's the 2nd best man-to-man defender on the team. Great, let's see if he can bump up his 2-3 minutes of medium leverage playing time per game to about 25 minutes and let's see how he does chasing Curry around the perimeter. Green can guard Shaun Livingston or Brandon Rush off the bench.

You thought I was serious?

The Raptors just waived Anthony Bennett. 1st overall pick just 3 years ago...

By choice. And Lee didn't sign his deal this offseason.

Butler is a minimum player. Period.

Kevin Martin is more than a minimum player. Period

Y'all really tried to use West as a comparison???

I mean, Lee did sign his Room Exception deal just a few days ago. Dallas literally played him $2 Million-plus for the remainder of the season.

You're the one that brought contract size into the discussion to try to prop up a failing case. Now you'll just have to live with the absurd conclusions that can be drawn from your flawed logic.

But you're comparing him to West. Who did a very rare thing..that's a terrible comparison

I brought up contract to show that Butler is a minimum player. Contract signed this summer. Martin isn't a minimum guy.

Next.

[coachmac87]

Y'all are the ones trying to use lame comparison instead of just admitting Kevin Martin is better than Rasual Butler...

But hey..y'all must know more then GMs cause your name is "bold" on Spurstalk

[Old School 44]

So did Kevin Martin get waived/bought out? Isn't today the deadline for him to be playoff eligible for any team that signs him?

This is what you said:

Just stop. I watch more basketball than you think and it's not just Spurs basketball.

You're overrating Butler. I'm not saying anything about Martin other than he's better player then Butler is. Contract says so...

Think of it this way.. Start of the season Butler and Martin are available for league minimum. Who do Spurs sign? Martin...just like EVERY team in the NBA would
