Patience, or Why Everyone Else Wants Kevin Martin

Kevin Martin is quickly becoming the hottest name on the mouths of rumor-mongers. The "why?" isn't hard to understand -- the Kings have continued to lose, Martin and Tyreke Evans have alternately had off nights together, shooting guard is a surprisingly star-bereft position outside the top level, and Martin has a long history of scoring prolifically and efficiently. Essentially, other teams really want Kevin Martin. Why shouldn't we?
The losses are hard to take, trust me. (Hey, I'm the guy who posted the vacant Iguodala poll the morning after a brutal loss.) But -- while Martin had been off-par since returning -- it's a conglomerate of causes settling this denouement, if this in fact a denouement and not just the mountain pass on the way to glory.
David Stern is going for blood in 2011, and that must play into any team's 2010 decisions. Stern and the owners, in their first proposal to the union before an All-Star Weekend bargaining session, have reportedly pushed for a 30 percent plus reduction of player salary plus a hard cap. Who knows what will actually be approved. But the tone is such that players will suffer, which means in 2011-12 and beyond, player salaries will be lower, and the cap will be lower. There'd likely be a transition period, but teams with cap space in 2011 will be in the best position to capitalize on the New World Order.

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Week 15

Spence, you've been playing well ever since my Article asking if you've regressed. Perhaps I should do this for JT and Kevin as well.
Another 0-3 week, but this time there is reason for encouragement. The Kings played 3 good to great teams and had the chances to beat 2 of them. That's better than being embarrassed in all of them, which had sadly started to become a trend.

Additionally, sources say Minnesota has considered adding [Kevin] Martin to its backcourt. It's not known, however, whether Timberwolves general manager David Kahn would trade either member of his formidable frontcourt – Al Jefferson or Kevin Love.
