Trade analysis - K Martin for L Odom

[Silky Johnson]

Am playing a dynasty as Denver and am thinking of making a trade that would invovle K Mart for Lamar Odom.

I know I'd lose some rebounding and inside strength, but would certinaly have some extra scoring punch. And I should only need about 7-8 rebounds per game rom Odom to be straight.

The main reason is that I like both players, and due to their contract structures, Odom should save me about $4mil per year.

* Do you think this is a decent move?
* What is Odom's scoring like around the basket (K Mart is a beast near the hoop)
* Am I asking too much by expecting Odom to play at the 4, near the hoop and give me 7-8 rebound?

Keep in mind I still have Melo, with Bogut at centre.

id keep kmart

[powerhoward85]

Odom is useless.

[nets4life]

keep martin hes a mean defensive presence and his power superstar ability comes in handy

[debiler]

Actually, Odom is a better rebounder than Martin. He can play the 4, although you might wanna shoot more and dunk less. He is a better all-around player, too. He can do everything, even hit the occasional three-pointer. I would do the trade any day. Martin might have good ratings, but playing with Odom is a lot easier, imho.

trade martin for dirk

Try getting Dwight Howard+(some filelr w/ big slary) for Kmart!

[Silky Johnson]

Ahh, not a bad idea...try to engineer a trade with K Mart + extras for Dwight Howard and Grant Hill. It would be awesome to get Grant Hill's salary...maybe Miller + Martin for Howard + Hill...would that work?

[The_Flying_Tomato]

i dunno what you'd do with melo. use him at SG? and who's your PF after the trade?

[Silas]

Bring hill off the bench, he's really not that good, though i'd say he's a better 2 player than carmello would be.

[Silky Johnson]

It would certainly be a case of sacrifing the 2 seasons until G Hill contract expired. But I would probably play out the season with G Hill at PF, or...start Reggie Evans, or...move Bogut to PF and find some schmuck as starting C...maybe trade for a third rate C.

Keep Kmart, I like his inside presence and defensive prowess more than what Odom gives you.

[Christopherson]

If I were you, I would make the trade, just because I think Martin is an overrated tool in this game. His realife counterpart is merely a showdow of the player his is in the game. Besides, I thi8nk Odom is a bit underrated also.

[Maize]

Actually Odom is good, he can play the 4 and can rebound, dish it out and block shots too. He might be slow for the 3 though, and has a horrible contract like KMart.
