SVG is right about Martins. While he has been around the NBA for sometime, his background has been in the business side. His lack of “basketball knowledge” is shown by his handling and the results of the trading of Howard, deciding to keep Nelson instead of Anderson in a rebuilding situation, and hiring (or approving) a “rookie” general manager and a “rookie” coach both of which were “clipboard holders” for their previous NBA employers. Saying all that, Martins seems bright enough to be a quick on-the-job learner and hopefully he will keep short leashes on the GM and coach.
