though the rockets now have a go to guy on offense... on the king's side of things, how's tmac gonna gel with evans? i'd hate to see evans take a back seat (seeming as how tmac still thinks he can play at a high level). it's very unlikely though. landry brings in consistency from the bench which is always a plus. | ||

at first (i didnt see the news on ESPN first) when I saw Kmart I was like "WTF DENVER JUST GOT TMAC FOR KENYON MARTIN" ... that woulda been crazy... then I realized which Kmart you guys were talking about. I'm kinda skeptical about the trade to be honest. I really <3 Landry, I think he's a keeper. | ||

I know Kevin Martin looks fine on paper, but I still don't think there's anything special about him. 20ppg as the #1 option on a terrible team, shooting under 40%? He's injured, but he's not exactly an iron man and he's never been a great shooter. And has he learned to play defense yet? That's not going to go over well in Houston if he hasn't. Kings got a great deal. | ||

I'm liking this deal more and more. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Let’s just be clear in what just happened here. The Knicks gave up: Jared Jeffries, a versatile defender that’s actually played really well this year. Jordan Hill, who has developed really well, has killer upside, and is a legit scoring big, which they’re going to need once Harrington and Lee are gone in six months. The expiring corpse of Larry Hughes Their control for their first round pick in 2011 NOT to be swapped to a perennial playoff team that just acquired cap space and Kevin Martin. Their 2012 first round pick, meaning they could not be picking in the top 15 for the next 3 YEARS. And in return, they got: An over-30 forward who has had injury problems every year for the past five years, and his expiring contract which will end up saving them a grand total of $9 million dollars. THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! Seriously? This just happened? What on EARTH are they going to offer LeBron/Wade/Bosh/Amar’e this summer? “Hey, come on by! You get to play with Sergio Rodriguez! Eddie House is in the corner, smokin’ a pipe! Chill out! Galinari’s going to make his famous pesto chicken!” THIS is the master plan? To leverage any hope of the future to try and buy your way out of purgatory? This isn’t Mario Bros. You can’t just skip a level, I don’t care how much money you have or what market you play in. This is an abject disaster. The Kings’ side of this gets better and better. They just cleared out enough space to build a new kitchen downstairs AND remodel Chrissy’s room with that walk-in closet she’s always wanted. They managed to hold on to Kenny Thomas (woof), so they save that money and pick up Hughes’ expiring as well. And they get Carl Landry, who’s going to annihilated people on the pick and roll with Evans. Having Hughes around for six months is a shame, but what else is new? And he wasn’t playing badly in New York for the first few months. Daryl Morey runs the game. That’s it. I’m having T-shirts printed that say “Daryl Morey Runs The Game.” He just spun the guy who he told to go hang out in Chicago instead of playing for Jordan Hill, Kevin Martin and two first round pick advantages. This is sick. This is a disgusting trade for the Rockets. They get Hill to develop like they did Landry, they get Kevin Martin to pair with Brooks and Ariza, they get youth in the future and they still have Yao Ming and saved money. Seriously. I’m pretty sure Morey is an alien with advanced technology. This is absurd. Okay, I’m going to go lie down and try and figure all this out. WHAT DO YOU MEAN TYRUS THOMAS IS A BOBCAT?! /passes out http://www.hardwoodparoxysm.com/2010/02/18/trade-deadline-where-donnie-walsh-being-possessed-by-isiah-thomas-happens/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter | ||

Kings got a great deal. The upside is that he might be as good as any other shooting guard in the east beside kobe and brandon roy, at < $10 million a year. Daryl Morey's statistical 8 ball has earned him leeway in his predictions, and evidently he thinks Kevin Martin will average out to his career averages (.449, .386, .850) rather than his season (22 games, .398, .355, .819). Aaron brooks is shooting .423 career .414 season so it's an improvement. It looks like Landry is an expiring contract, so I guess Morey thinks he'll resign way higher than $3 million. Morey might be BIlly Beaning the 2010 6th man of the year. And nicknames have nothing to do with deserving, Kenyon Martin established himself with the Nets, and everyone called him K-Mart. If Lebron decided he wanted to be called Mamba, he can't just take it just because he's more deserving. | ||

If you have ever seen him in an actual game, you'd know he looks completely lost with no basketball sense at all. Against the bulls last night I don't think I saw him actually run once. | ||

Kevin Martin is nothing special in the nba... sure all you fantasy bball guys know he's a great scorer with very good %s, esp from the line. But for that amount of money he sure comes with a ton of injury risk and is not that good of a defender. | ||

The Nuggets' game changed completely on both ends when he got in the game in the first half. Does anyone else think it's unfair that James is the best PG and SF in the league? Did Lebron look like he was about to cry to anyone else? O: | ||
