Martin to Houston, TMac to Sacto.

Very interesting...

BTW, I'm glad this happened. I think picking up Martin was just too chancy for us.

Martin wasn't doing very well lately in Sactown. Even if T-Mac ends up in NY, adding Landry should improve the Kings. I like this one.

Great move for the Kings. If they dont move TMac, they will have a huge expiring contract to make some noise in the offseason, and in the mean time they free up shots for Tyreke while giving their frontcourt one of the most underrated power forwards in the game.

I'm just crossing my fingers TMac stays put before the deadline.

Not sad at all. Martin's FGP & eFGP have declined every year since his sophomore season. The only reason that he's still scoring at a fairly high clip is that he's chucking shots at an all time high rate. In fact I'm rather happy with this trade. I think that it makes the Rockets weaker, if anything.

Locke is flat out wrong on this one.

I agree I think he is injury prone and over-rated and over-paid. Though, Adelman coached him and sac town so he is probably is a good guy as the coach wanted him in Houston.
