Kevin "No Hesitation" Martin

[KOBE]

So Martin has missed the last 4 games with "injuries"(twolves are tanking are as hard as possible).


That really isn't the point of this thread, it's what Wiggins has been able to do while he's been out, and what he was doing before Martin returned earlier in the year:

Wiggins last 4 games:

22 points, 10/19, 2/3 free throws
27 points, 8/16, 10/11 free throws
31 points, 9/17, 12/15 free throws
20 points, 6/15, 8/9 free throws(tbf, pelicans defense can give guards fits inside when they have Davis/Asik in there).

Wiggins plays better without Martin, he gets more chances, and the wolves offense doesn't just stop at Martin. The Wolves would honestly be crazy to keep the guy when they're trying to rebuild, he's not going to stop shooting and he's literally hurting Wiggin's offensive development. Get this chucking fakkit out of Minnesota.

They're not tanking.

If you want to move Martin, fine. He shouldn't have gotten a 4 year deal anyway, BUT

If Martin is not there, who the fukk is gonna shoot from outside? Until he's gone he's a necessary evil because there isn't a replacement for the one positive he brings.

Thus, why I constantly bring up Hezonja, but leave it to a coach who discourages shooting threes to figure that out. Nobody's learning.

I see what you are saying, but Kevin Martin is the benchmark for good SG. Fact of the Matter KM is one of the better 3 pt shooters on that team and he is a veteran on a young team. That contract is excessive, but not so much so considering the lack of true SG in this era.
