Their sg position is probably the worst of the league. Kevin Martin would be a good scorer off the bench for them, they need that desperately.

Randy Foye
Kevin Martin
Dion Waiters

All are SGs coming off the bench that provide only one thing, scoring. A coach with great rotational schemes can make it work where either KD or Westbrook is leading the second unit.

didn't work with a 29-year-old Kevin Martin, why would it work with a 33-year-old Kevin Martin?

because a 33 years old Martin is still better than Waiters and Foye. They only get better with this move.

Foye and Waiters can't shoot or score.

Was Martin really that bad in OKC? Or was he just a downgrade from Harden?

I heard Spurs are going after him, they don't have enough old geysers yet apparently.

Spurs do well with guys that spread the floor.

Martin was good in okc when he played but I don't think they should go after them. Dion waiters, Roberson and foye isn't a bad shooting guard rotation

He was fine, filled his role perfectly.

The problem then, as now, is that KD and Westbrook couldn't set a guy like him up with passes. They've become better at it now and I think he would be a better fit now than then.

Of course he was a downgrade from Harden. But Martin was good and so was OKC in 2013. Probably even better than the 2012 team. But it all went to shit once some goon in Houston injured Westbrook and he was out for the playoffs. Some people expected Martin to step up in Westbrook's absence. He didn't. Turns out that losing your star PG will cripple most the role players on your team, it was basically Durant and the scrub role players vs the Grizz and their defense.

That's what I thought, but I was questioning it based on a few responses here.
