Nets offered martin roughly $66 million extension over 6 years,20 million shy of a max deal.
Martin's agent brian dyke said yesterday"He has a right to want to be financially secure for the rest of his life"
I guess $66 million is not what it use to be!

K Mart is a stiff, average player at best.Jermaine O'Neal is alot better than K-Mart. K-Mart is a average scorer and rebounder, without Kidd getting him the ball , lets see what his scoring avg will be in Portland and battling West team power forwards

AGREE MARTIN HAS A LIMITED GAME.

HE PLAYS TOUGH & GRITTY

BUT HE DOESNT HAVE 1 OR 2 GO TO OFFENSIVE MOVES TO MAKE HIM A TOP SHELF PLAYER.

A VERY GOOD COMPLIMENT PLAYER BUT NOT THE MAJOR PIECE TO BUILD YOUR TEAM AROUND

REMINDS ME OF JAMES WORTHY(NOT THE SAME TYPE OF PLAYER BUT GETS HALF HIS PTS FROM THE POINT GUARD-MAGIC & KIDD)

DeNiro, I can't believe you compared Martin to James Worthy. He has a long way to go before he even enters that category. He can't shoot. He can do put back dunks like the rest of the new generation. He's also good at pulling his jersey down to show off his tatoos. Ever since this retard blew games 4,5, and 6 of this year's championship, I've wanted his dumb ass out of here. I hope they trade him for Rasheed Wallace, that's the rumor.

MY POINT WAS THEIR PTS WERE CONTRIBUTED BY THE POINT GUARDS PLAYMAKING.

YES THEY DONT PLAY ANYTHING ALIKE.

WORTHY WAS A NICE PLAYER, BUT WAS GREATLY ENHANCED BY PLAYING WITH THE LAKERS

LETS SAY A EARLIER VERSION OF SCOTTIE PIPPEN(1 OF THE MOST OVERRATED PLAYERS IN HISTORY OF NBA)

The guy is a nobody - there is no justice in this world if he and Duncan make the same salary - he has zero offense other than the put back dunk and he runs the floor great - could you imagine if he did not play in that running system and he did not get all those easy dunks - after he missed his first 5 shots he would have the confidence of a flea - once the Spurs stopped the Nets run what did he do - I think he shot 35% in the series.

K-Mart is a brainless neanderthal. He is a complete idiot when it comes to the fundamentals of the game. To ask for max salary is absurd. Trade the bum.

is it just me, or would the nets be getting a steal getting wallace and patterson for martin.

wallace would eat up the east, easily a better player than martin, and patterson is not a bad throw in at all.

the nets would have one hell of a defensive squad, and a better offensive one, with that trade.

Nets were considering trading him and Mutumbo to Portland for Sheed and either Sabonis or Ruben Patterson. Good deal for both in my opinion.

Isn't Ruben a felon?

Jman, do you remember if this is the sex offender? There are so many I get my criminals mixed up.

I can hear Marv now ... "Wife Beater behind the back to Pot Head. NOOOO!! Oh, Sex Offender slams it home. YEEEEESSSSS."

If 66 million is on the table, he needs to take that to the bank. He is not worth half that amount.

Strikes me as the type of athelete that once he signs a monster guarenteed deal he will pull an El Foldo. You know, not stay in shape, lose that fire to win, etc. I may be wrong, only time will tell, because he is going to get something between 66 and 70 million from someone.

I remember the press reporting during the NBA finals that a cocky K-Mart telling the Nets coaching staff, "let me guard Duncan by myself, no double tean". After Duncan almost dropped a quadruple double on his ass, he turned to his teammates and said, "this ain't workin fellas".

Chuck, KMart played Duncan well and stopped him from scoring but the Spurs system of cutting and driving and spot up 3's alleviates alot of pressure off of Duncan. DUncan gets the most quiet 20 pts 15 boards 5 assists and 3 blks you will ever see.

Kmart is limited in his moves yes, but his grit, athletic ability, and will make up for his lack of moves. Granted in the Championship series he tried to hard and things didn't fall his way, that doesn't make him a nobody. His rebounding is great! I don't know what you all are seeing.

He IS out of line for demanding a max contract though. He will ruin his future by demanding a max contract from the Nets because the Nets won't be able to add pieces like a Mourning. He is an idiot and is being greedy. You can tell that he is money driven by the fact he would demand a trade from a team who went to two straight title series'. His game should not be questioned, its his future and his selfishness. He is failing to be selfish in the most important aspect of being selfish, to win.

Rasheed will make the Nets an automatic next year to advance to the championship series.

Jateeluv, the Nets are already an automatic to make the finals next year - and it's an automatic they will lose again in the finals - they have played 8 finals games and won two games by a whopping total of 3 points - one game was a gift from the FT line and the other was the result of Duncan and Robinson being on the bench for long periods - there is not one game where they went out and actually won by their own play.

Duncan's points are quiet? He is hands down the best player in the league - look are the rest of the Spurs - pretty decent at best. If Martin were to guard him straight up he would foul out by the middle of the 3rd and Duncan would score 35 each game - of course, Duncan could care less how many points he has which is something no one else in the league can comprehend but that is why he is a 2 time champion.
