You do realize that Martin almost averaged a double-double his last
year in NJ, don't you? 17 ppg and 9.5 rpg is not second fiddle on any
team. Last year he was injured and only averaged 15.5 ppg and 7.9 rpg,
but that is still nothing to sneeze at. I think you are over playing
this whole "lofty expectations" thing.
