Boogua Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I know it's only been a few games and Kevin Martin can't keep up what he's doing, but it's interesting to look at the trade a few weeks into it. Harden started off like a mad man, but his season FG% now sits at 42.8 and he's averaging 4 TOs a game. His TS% last year was 66 and this year it's 56. He shot 39% from 3 last year and this year is shooting 28.6% Kevin Martin is averaging almost 18 points on a 70.2% TS%. He's also shooting a ridiculous 53.6% from 3 thus far. Those Martin numbers are clearly unsustainable, but maybe playing alongside Durant and Westbrook is a bigger advantage than initially thought.

Those Martin numbers are clearly unsustainable, but maybe playing alongside Durant and Westbrook is a bigger advantage than initially thought. If Martin keeps shooting 54% from the arc, yeah, they'll be fine. I'd say both of those percentages would normalize a bit though. What's funny is Harden's numbers (both raw totals and percentages) were actually better with at least one of the studs out. breakdown with Durant/Westbrook on/off the floor. I'd say it's more adjusting to a bigger role in a new offense with new teammates very quickly. He's getting to the rim at an absurd rate so far (8 attempts a game, making 65% of them, plus 9 free throws a game), his shot has been a bit off though.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Orlando, Dallas, Boston and Chicago are very interested in Marcin Gortat. Sports Review Uhh didnt even know he was available nut yes please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course a lot of teams are interested, he's productive and only makes $7 million. Add that with his recent complaints about a lack of touches recently and voila, instant trade rumor. If he does get traded, the price will likely be very high given his favorable contract status. If Phoenix would get the ball to their guys that can actually convert instead of letting Beasley continually miss jumpers, there likely wouldn't be a rumor.

They could really use another center, Noah's playing 39 MPG right now and that's probably not a good thing long term. Gortat is a solid one, and would probably fit okay with Noah at PF. I don't think Gortat is quick enough to play PF. I don't know how he'd fit cost-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) the bulls are just painfully boring. even the dark years of '99-'03 you had the hope of curry and chandler becoming sorta/kinda/somewhat shaq-kg and the guarantee of a top 5 pick. the bulls reminds me of the 2000 orlando magic.

I'm probably going to be called a bad fan, but yeah, I find them difficult to watch without Rose as well. They're not exactly bad, just mediocre offense and good defense that results in some uninspiring stretches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way he's going to keep hitting three 3's a night at a high-50% clip. However, he can definitely be good when he gets hot. The problem is his scoring hits a wall when his jumpers don't drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the 3point percentage is not sustainable. but even when you normalize it, you're still talking an 18+ ppg scorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, for the price he went for, he would have been a good boost for the Bulls. However, he signed a 1-year deal with an option and could be in a for a raise at this rate.
