Rod Thorn spoke to the media on Friday about the decision not to keep Kenyon Martin. He held a press conference, and then spoke with Ian Eagle and Chris Carlin on WFAN, saying that the Nets couldn't handle a front-loaded contract. Martin's agent says that the Nets never made K-Mart an offer of their own during the whole process.
