KMart is so obviously a giant upgrade over Blair/Bonner that I cannot even fathom why he's not here yet.
I think a lot of people are upset because they're unemployed

K Martin was one of the reasons the Clippers advanced to the second round last year, together with Evans.
The Memphis series was a dogfight and he was right into it.
Why am I NOT surprised that he's not on their roster anymore?
yeah, I'd -briefly- consider taking a leave from what I'm doing, a short one though, to be employed by an NBA team.
Albeit only an elite one.
Regardless of where you are in cap situation, you can always sign players to minimum contracts. So - yes, the Spurs can offer him the minimum.
K-Mart is one of the most notable thugs in the NBA. I don't think TD wants to play with him. If you guys don't remember, he got in trouble a few years ago by, while he was on the bench, pointing out to his posse the people that were heckling him, as if to put out a hit after the game. I think he is pure re . Of course, if he dons a Spurs uniform I wil cheer him on, but I wouldn't be surprised one bit if the FO doesn't go after him. BTW he broke up with the girl and had those ridiculous red lips removed, or I think they were painted over with a black rectangle. What a DOOFUS!!!!! My nickname for him is Sea Monster, especially when he was younger he looked like the creature from the black lagoon.
Who cares if he's a re and a thug, Bonner is a cerebral nice guy and no one really gives a , bottom line is KMart can play defense.
I don't see how he isn't here already. Do it Pop and R.C.!
Sign him, try to Salary dump Bonner for a protected 2nd round pick, and then sign McDyess. when other teams bigs are trying to ruff up Tim, pop can send them in to lay the wood down on mother ers. trade blair away & sign Ben Wallace too solely just to crack skulls.
Tired of this soft ass front court outside Tim, Leonard, & Jax.
Spurs should sign him... they are one Duncan injury away from the entire interior defense going to .
Because he openly argued with the coach on the sideline during a playoff series, yet he wonders why nobody's calling him with an offer....
KMart is too dumb to play in the Spurs system. , there's several guys on the team that have been playing for the Spurs for years and still don't have the concept entirely down (Splitter).
Seriously, it would be hard NOT to argue with Del negro in PO series....
not that i would in any way be for it, but i don't believe 10 day contracts can be offered until a bit later in the season. i want to say the date is the same that non-guaranteed contracts become guaranteed if the player isn't cut, but don't quote me on that.
Since the coach in question is Del Negro, that should endear him to Pop.
too stupid + ty at ude + gonna be ing for a higher contract when he's barely worth vet min as it is... Spurs are better to leave this stone unturned.
Of course, there's a good chance he could come in and like so many other players have a complete change of character by just being in the Spurs environment, but all the difficulties he's making for himself in even getting signed is a decent sign he's going to be more trouble than what he's worth, and we should just stay away.
Credit to Martin's agent for getting this puff piece published.
If we got him I'd feel twice as good about our chances tbh, I'm still hoping against hope...
lol at Kenyon Martin being the difference maker on championship team. If he was that good, he'd be signed to a team already. On a serious note, I'd like the Spurs to pick him up but wouldn't be terribly upset if they didn't.
Well, getting upset every time the Spurs do not pick up a decent available free agent is not good for your health anyway ...
I had warmed up to the idea at first but the more I think about it the more I don't want him. Teams that want to win championships just don't allow Kenyon Martin on their team. History is a valuable teacher.

If he doesn't get picked up by tomorrow, then it proves that he is still looking for a contract above the minimum. We have a ton of armchair GMs across the country wondering why their team isn't picking him up and making their voices heard. In the end, at that price, someone will take a look.
I've never been a fan of KMart's wannabe thug at ude but he represents a key element. He is the "Best of What's Left" in the bigman bin and we do need some bigman help in the defensive area.
But the Spurs know the window is closing (if not already closed) so they appear to be doubling down on the idea of "corporate knowledge" being the the best way for one last shot. Maybe they are thinking the KMart's low BBIQ would hinder their le quest more than help. I'd prefer that they gave him a chance if he really wants an NBA job with great team for a minimum contract but despite the desperate sounding plea, it doesn't look to be the case.
Im going to go out on a limb and say Pop doesn't really care about hurt feelings.
I guess the Spurs think they are good with what they have. I think they will do fine in the regular season, but they will miss a player like K-Mart in the post season.
The Spurs can use Diaw at PF, go small with either Kawhi or Jack at PF, or play Duncan at PF with Splitter at C. Some foul trouble would complicate things. Bonner or Blair can't play in the off-season.
Martin would bring more options, the PF/C rotation of Duncan - Diaw & Splitter - Martin is quite good. The same can't be said when the Spurs have to play Bonner or Blair since defense wins championships, and I'm not sure if there has ever been an team that has advanced far playing small ball.
Did you stop watching the NBA after the WCF? I'm pretty sure LeBron James played the 4.
