That doesn't make sense actually. Would you rather live in your preferred city 33% of the time or 66% of the time?
Gordon's perferred city is supposed to be his hometown of Indy. When he was with the Clipps he was rumored to not resign with us and go to the Pacers.


-but do you want to get paid or do you want to club? I'll live where ever if somebody is going to pay me millions. plus I'm going to be in Miami, LA, NY, ATL, etc anyways on road trips. If I'm in a mediocre town I'll just fly the party in if I have to. that's just me though :manny:

Revisiting the trade again, i think the Thunder get the most value/production out of Martin if they insert him in the starting lineup. Replace Thabo with Martin.I know Thabo is there for defense, but i'm thinking of how they can maximize Martin's production. He's not an efficient scorer, so i don't believe in this role off the bench with Maynor facilitating. Put him out there with the two stars where he can play off their presense on the floor and get good looks and easier matchup. Cuz when he comes off the bench,he'll get a lot more defensive spotlight then if he's in their starting with the stars(Durant and Westbrook). PLus the better defensive frontcourt is in the starting lineup and you need that with Martin cuz players are going to blow pass him worst than Steve nash

there is talk he MAY start later on but for now they want to put him in the same role as Harden. Come off the bench but get starters minutes for now.

but like when Harden would come in, there isn't a mass substitution. Harden would check in for Thabo then Russ, Perk and Ibaka would go and Durant would leave once the flow got going. That's probably what they will continue to do.

The starters are head and shoulder better complimetary players to KMart style than the bench, unless one of those rookies grow up quick

I thought they would insert Martin into the starting lineup, not sure why not.

Brooks could always just leave one of them out for the first initial minutes the 2nd unit comes on like Spo does with the big 3 in Miami.
