…hopefully this is a “it’s better for him to take the summer off rather than risk it” decision, rather than an “oh, hell, the foot still hasn’t healed properly” decision.

Sad news =(

Bad week for the Webster. You’re in our hearts, M.

and stay with us on the ride…and come back stronger that ever!

We will be here!

Get well for next season Martell to put some fire under Nic and Travis.

and come back 110% next season, healthy Oden + Healthy Martell = Western Conf. Finals!

its not worth it

what the f is up w/ the medical staff though

It would have been nice to use him a bit to give Batum some time to rest his ankle.

Keep your head up Martell!

Martell deserves at least one more look/exam. If he doesn’t pass that then I’ll put the desire to rest. He deserves to play. BUT, if he uses this to light a fire under him this summer and just come out and dominate next year, it will be all worth it. Most Improved Award candidate/winner for next year. I was looking forward to that extra depth going into the playoffs and felt he could have been a pivotal player for us.

So bummed…

He hasn’t been involved in the offense all year, there’s no way he could make an impact in the next couple of weeks.

Come back in October ready to rock n roll.

not a 6 month injury

Martell was my favorite player coming into this season, but I would rather see him come back HEALTHY than try and marginally help us in the playoffs.

Odds are we won’t win a title this year. Martell will still be part of the dynasty when it begins next year!

(If we do win this year, we’ll say his 5 minutes and presence helped us to win it all!)

In the meantime hang with the rest of the guys at every opportunity because you’re a part of this winning team and you deserve to be there.

Love,

Annie

Get rested and come back healthy.

contract extension this past October. Rather than that, it’d’ve probably been more apt to strongarm Webster into signing the one-year qualifying offer that’d’ve been tendered to him this off-season. Oh well, hindsight is twenty-twenty.

I was so freaking ready to yell Martell for three that my vocal cords aren’t going to know what to do with themselves next season. I know the doc didn’t brink the news you were looking for but look at the bright side:

1) You will be joining a playoff tested team next season
2) You could be the one to bring this team the the next level
3) You just had your second baby girl
4) Your name means the Hammerer, which is pretty cool for a baller
5) Portland fans still love you

Fight through it bud, you will get there!

P.S. Marty, if you are reading this, my condolences for the loss of your uncle Marvin. May he rest in peace.

It’s all for the best in the end.

no really though, who expected to actually bring him back to start the playoffs?

Which Blazer will sit out all of next year?

Missing this season could be a devastating blow for his chances of having a long term role in Portland. I think there’s a pretty good chance he’s played his last game as a Blazer.
