So I know Kenyon has a bum knee and poor attitude but who doesnt in the NBA??
I'm not sure if the salary works outs but if Nuggest re-sign Steve Blake and ship him and Kenyon to the Warriors for:
Foyle, and (sign and trade Petrius)
would that work?
Kenyon Martin anyone?

No. K-Mart has a max contract... we still would be far away on the salaries. |

Not to mention Denver gets royally screwed in that deal. Kenyon Martin for Pietrus, alone, is a kick in the balls... let alone trying to throw Foyle in there, too. And, like you said, he's got a bum knee, an attitude problem, and (the one you forgot) no talent without Jason Kidd.  GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS DIE HARD   |

Kenyon Martin is a real bad story. That guy is getting paid for doing fukall and isn't a very good player when he is healthy anyway. Mullin is smart enough to stay away from him and gt value for money

Well, Denver would get a ton of cap relief in that trade. I wouldn't be surprised if something like that happens, although they'd probable get something else, like a draft pick or something to sweeten the deal. But that could be the only way to get rid of that contract.
Come on, K-Mart is a good player. Not great, and needs a true PG to play at his top level (hey, we have one in Baron), but he's not a bad player. Good defender, blocks shots, athletic (when healthy)... should be a better rebounder, but he's far from useless. Still, he's making way too much money... We already have enough injury risks in the team. |

I'd would trade for Kenyon Martin only when he becomes expiring, and I'd only do in the final hour before the trade deadline, and I the W's would have to be in tank mode, and we'd have to get rid of 3 really bad contracts as well.
Just no. |

KMart can do some things decently, defense being the main thing but he absolutely nothing above average at anything! There are plenty of PFs that can do as good if not better and come at less than one tenth of the price migya make the ring fall on ya |

I am not that knowledgeable about the salary rules but it seems to me that Foyle plus a MLE is more money per year than KMart. That's not saying that I'd want that since KMart has another year plus a player option he'll take that Foyle doesn't but still. I think the salaries would work. |

Yeah, but it's only a couple of million over K-Mart's salary (I think so, although I haven't checked the numbers of the MLE lately)... It's just that the original trade idea involved trading K-Mart and a re-signed Blake to the Dubs... and I doubt Blake will re-sign for only 2-3 million. |

Blake won't sign anywhere for under 4 million likely, but he is not a starting PG caliber player and wasn't very good in the playoffs that I read about. He could be had but I wouldn't do it for more than 4 million

Yup, it was just an idea... I know Kenyon Martin is being overpaid, but so is Adonal Foyle. The thing is, we dont even use Foyle, whereas I think we would use Kenyon (if he is not injured). Kenyon needs a PG to set him up, just like AB. Last time I checked, AB was doing pretty well... I know, its a long shot, and K-Mart is probably not the long term answer but a change a scenary and a run n gun offense again might help him out and in turn help us out. (Assuming he is healthy). By no means, am i suggesting blake as a thrown in player for salary purposes... I actually think blake would be a damn good back up for Baron. Well...anyways, it was just an idea.. unrealistic maybe, better chance getting K-Mart then KG... |

actually most of that could be fixed with baron davis, but the injury thing really kills it for me even if there were no salary problems. "The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else."

Nene was great late in the season and definately would be nice on the team but JRich is anestablished very good player while Nene is just coming into his own and has had issues with injuries. Really think the draft can get a contibuting PF. Stay away from question marks as the team is going in the right direction and one bad roster move could send things back to how they were migya make the ring fall on ya |
