Looks like SAC couldn't digest Martin trade :-

It's common that the former player of a team gets their jersey discounted everywhere.

where is kevin martin anyway? haven't heard from him in awhile.

He's with the Rockets.

He is doing better over there but still not sharp that we usually see him in the past though.

Martin is out with a sore shoulder from a moving pick. The Rockets was finally healthy (aside from Yao) briefly, getting Lowry and Ariza back, and won four in a row, including a win over the Nuggets. The streak ended quickly, as Battier, Jeffries, Hill, and Martin all went down right on cue in the span of a game and a half. Martin played a pair of games with the bad shoulder, but with Battier, Jeffries, and Hill out, every game was a layup drill for the other team, so Adelman threw in the towel and pulled Martin, too.

Before the injury, Martin has been very effective at breaking down help defense (the main weakness of the Rockets without Yao before the trade) when there is a lot of ball movement, but his offense stalls when there isn't a lot of ball movement. In other words, he has been doing really well when Brooks isn't padding his own stats, but not so well when Brooks is in his aimless dribbling/will only pass if it will be the final pass of the offensive sequence mode. It's like the more things change, the more they stay the same.

So Martin is missing games due to injury? Yup, Kevin Martin is back to his old self again!
