Now some are calling him the best ruckman in the league (albeit his teammate). Good one Dees.

Don't know that it is an actual rule, but I think you'll find that most player contracts have a 'retirement' clause in them now to stop a repeat of the Mal Michael scam.
I do not know the inside detail of Martin's trade, but the decision to rid us of his services yet keep Jamar (when he still had some trade value) seems truly unforgivable.
Like that he has a bit of mongrel, but having him out for round 1 next year is exactly what we don't need. Whatever you think of the MRP, it was a dumb act by Dawes.
He came into the season underprepared after a broken leg. Poor skills late in the game will happen until he develops a tank. How many times in the last few weeks did Vince miscue kicks to opponents that resulted in turn over goals? I can think of at least 2. (Not dissing Bernie). Judge Riley at the end of next year after a full preseason and 12-15 games.
Thought he was a good contributor to GCS at times. Certainly did not fail as an experiment. Issy Falou was a failure. Half of the MFC are failures. Know your target Louis.
