Kenyon Martin Grizzlies trade: Ben Wallace Joe Johnson Grizzlies 2011 1st Title: Griz Post by: GrizzliesGM on October 24, 2005, 04:56:16 PM The Grizzlies agree to this trade.
Title: do Post by: GrizzliesGM on October 24, 2005, 05:26:50 PM I did this because although wallace is still the great defender he was when I got him his lack of offense is starting to bother me. Instead, I get Martin who is younger, much better offensivly, and a great defender although not nearly as good as martin. I make up for losing Joe Johnson with my earlier trade of nesterovic for Cone so his absense as my main backup at sg and sf won't hurt as much.
Title: Hornets / Grizzlies Post by: HornetsGM on October 24, 2005, 06:24:08 PM I think Martin's stats may be inflated from the 1st sim. I expect him to go back to averaging what he did last season and in previous seasons.
Wallace is old, but he fits my team much better. I already have 3 solid scorers in Marion, Odom and Livingston (with Jackson off the bench), and scoring from Kmart was overkill... By the time Wallace retires (which could well be after this season), I think Swift and Pavel will be able to handle the PF and C duties. Either that or I could move one of those two or Curtis Sura for a true PF... This was really a move that I made for this year, with consideration for the future. |
