Hawks AND Nuggets offer Kenyon Martin Maximum

personally i hope KMart leaves, only because it eliminates one more contender from the East, and Detroit's toughest foe

I think he is leavin,theres too many clues sayin that he is,Ill be surprised if he stays

It seems he probably will stay in NJ, which is a good thing for NJ off course.
It's also a pretty good thing for Nene and C. Anderson, because is he would go to Denver it will mean less minutes for Nene, which is a shame because he is a very good young player.

Andersen is a FA, I believed a restricted one. Nene will get his play time...platoon with Camby. Nene is better man up defender but Camby is a better rebounder and weak side defender...the thing is Camby is fragile, so I wouldn't doubt that he gets hurt sometime during the year.

I don't think the Nets would match Martin's offer sheet. Ratner is cutting costs and IMO they're bluffing right now. Earlier in the offseason, they were trying to deal Kidd so they could match anything Martin got (as well as have space for RJ). Or they were going to try to sign and trade. Now, they're saying they might match...they're trying to scare the Nugz into signing and trading...just my feeling.

Ive seen that K-mart will sign wit da Nugs because of a 15 million dollar bonus or somethimn like that

Ive seen that bonus thing too but that doesn't mean he will sign with Nuggets.
Btw, why aren't they going for a good sg? They have Nene and Andersen no? of course K-Mart is on another level but they are more in need of an sg...

trade them for a SG :p Getting a shootiong guard isn't that hard...just depends what you looking for. Now getting a big man like Martin is rare, so thats why you go get him.

but $15million, highest signing bonus ever, money can do some talking..
