Quick thoughts on the Kevin Martin deal

PrintI just woke up to the sound of my phone exploding with text messages.
With that said, here are ten immediate thoughts I had once I heard about The Trade.
- Damn, I'm gonna miss Carl Landry. But this is Daryl Morey being sneaky smart and selling high on a "young" power forward that isn't really all that young. (Remember, Landry was a 24 year old rookie with bad knees.) Besides, this allows the Rockets to re-sign Luis Scola quite easily this summer.
- The Rockets acquired the best player in the deal. Not to inflate the Sports Guy's ego, but he's right: the team that acquires the best player overall is usually the team that "wins" the trade. And Kevin Martin is the best player in this deal. Which makes it the "Kevin Martin trade" and not the "Tracy McGrady trade" - which probably pisses off T-Mac. Which makes it even more awesome.
- Just as I was about to write another "Ruminations from the Bench" with Joey Dorsey meeting with David Stern as a player rep to quantify what $400M in NBA losses means in number of lap dances and hos... he gets traded. Bummer.
- I own three replica jerseys of current Rockets players. Make that two now. Carl Landry's #14 is now retired. Yao and Luis are still represented. My "throwback" Horry jersey only gets broken out during the playoffs. Naturally.
- Sacramento is broke. There is no other reason they would make this trade. If they gave Martin and Tyreke Evans a couple years together, they could be scary good. But, alas, the business side broke that up. Good for us.
- I never have to discuss Tracy McGrady again.
- The Knicks may still be "in play" so the Rockets could acquire some draft picks, too. We shall see about that. I'm tempted to ignore the Knicks just to stick it to T-Mac one last time. McGrady really wants to go to N.Y., so sending him to Sacramento would be the ultimate indignity for him. Other than playing for the Nets.
- Sergio Rodriguez could be really good. He may also be Kyle Lowry insurance.
- Welcome back, Kenny Thomas! Please join Brian Cook at the end of the bench and do not speak to anyone until spoken to directly. Please do not poke the coach with a stick while he's sleeping.
- This trade is much, much, MUCH better than the proposed "Jordan Hill plus draft picks" s--t sandwich that was being rumored for much of the week. The Rockets actually get better with this trade.
So, do we really need to say it? In Daryl Morey we trust.

Is Armstrong any good?
How about the PF position who is going to backup Scola?
I think he meant scoring wise
by Carlos_HoustonSportsFanatic on Feb 18, 2010 10:17 AM CST up reply actions
well...
maybe this requires Coach Sleepy to actually play Luis Scola in the 4th Q now. So Scola can play 36 minutes a game. Easily.
we lost landry
and that unto itself was reason enough not to like this trade. why not brian cook? alas… that is how the game is.
“Welcome back, Kenny Thomas! Please join Brian Cook at the end of the bench and do not speak to anyone until spoken to directly. Please do not poke the coach with a stick while he’s sleeping.”
Counldnt stop laughing at that one.
Why not Brian Cook? Probably because it was a “trade” and not a “give”.

Can you post that "Ruminations from the Bench" just for fun
And T-Mac would get bought out in Sacramento and prob end up signing for a contender instead of the lottery bound Knicks

cold… real cold….. BUT A DAMN GOOD ONE!!!
so how many people in the rosters now? since we are taking in 4 players and trade 3 away? I know Cook doesn’t count as player, that’s why I said “roster”….

If the Knicks don’t get involved in the trade… the Kings buy him out and he goes to the Knicks on the cheap. He wants to be there.
I think the Kings plan on buying Tmac out as long as he gives money back.
If he doesn’t, he’s fucked.
No mistakes in the tango, Donna. Not like life. Simple. That's what makes the tango so great. If you make a mistake, and get all tangled up, you just tango on.....
'm not sure Donald Sterling is a human being. He had to have been manufactured by someone, possibly David Stern, so that one team could solely just make profit for the NBA while doing nothing good for themselves. -- Aykis 16
I hope he sqawks about giving money back and then complaining about not getting PT.
I can’t wait to rip into him for that. Tmac is such a waste of space.

They are worse than Sac. He would be smart to go to a contender that misses one piece like Boston or Denver.

I don't mean that the Kings won't buy him out
(though that might depend on his insurance status, I suppose). Just that I think it’s pretty unlikely that one of the main contenders is going to add him. Maybe a team at the bottom of the playoff order, but not the two best teams.
I'm surprised any team would add him.
Then again Boston did pick up Starbury last year.

He might be able to contribute
we’ll see. But the problem he’s inevitably going to have is that a playoff team isn’t going to give him the minutes he wants to prove himself. Maybe the heat, I guess.
Not too happy about the draft.
The sting of losing Landry is preventing me from seeing the positives but it’ll eventually die down. When the dust settles, im hoping that I get to see what this deal was really for.
To get rid of Tracy McLady and help us get to the play offs next season.
hey
Don’t forget we have actual draft picks this year… who knows who will be the “next Carl Landry” we unearth this year!
If he can sink his teeth
Into Drik Nowitzki’s elbow and still be able to play, i’ll be rooting for him.

I would have rather see Scola go before Landry. I think Landry’s (offensive) game was better than Scola’s. Isnt that what we needed? Someone who can score besides the backcourt.

While I like Landry
I think Luis Scola fills more holes. I also think he’s a better fit with Yao Ming long term too.

what?
Scola > Landry.
Basketball is more than just hollow stats like “4th Q scoring”. Landry is good, very good – but he hit his peak. AND he was going to opt out of his contract and make a shitload this summer.
Ummm I thought the Rockets had a team option on Landry.
My impression is the Kings are getting him cheap next season too.

hmmm
Another salary cap guide I read earlier had it as a player option.
Either way, the Rockets get Martin for this year and three more. After next year, Landry will be 28 – which is old by NBA standards – and the Rockets would have to sign him for a LOT. Plus, this makes it clear that they want to keep Scola this offseason.
And Scola may not be as explosive or highlight-reel worthy as Landry, but he’s damn good. And he’s a better rebounder/defender, too.
Do you think Morey made Scola untouchable?

Not to be discourteous
But the Kings aren’t trading Tyreke Evans for Yao Ming. Of course, that would also go for the Rockets too. But you get my point I’m sure.

exactly
A smart GM would even consider trading LeBron if the price was right.
To say someone is “untouchable” only gets you fired down the road.
So let me rephrase since you done learned me the Morey way
Would Scola be included in this deal? I’m thinking no.

And Scola isn’t as attractive to the Kings as Landry is (based purely on scoring potential)
Taht I disagree with.
Based on the need for rebounding, I think Scola is more attractive.

Kinda disagree
Im not so sure Scola was a better defender. IMO Scola wasn’t as aggresive as Landry on D, but I do agree he is a beast on the boards.
by Vernon Blaxwell on Feb 18, 2010 11:05 AM CST up reply actions
aggression =/= "D"
Defense isn’t about aggression. It’s about movement, positioning and anticipation. Landry never really caught on to the whole “positioning” thing and he got abused a lot.
His peak is pretty high. If he can do this 4 more years, he's a bargain.
And now, he’s a starter. Let’s see what he can do.
Significant gravitas shortfall expected in 2010.
this is a perfect example
of giving up quality to get quality. it sucks to lose landry, really sucks, but with martin we have a better shot for the future. plus, when has morey been wrong?
If we really want to nitpick...
Signing Brent Barry I never understood. But whatever, I’m not complaining.

I don't like it
I think this deal is solely dependent on Yao being healthy, otherwise why get rid of a guy like Landry? I think Kevin Martin is a good player but how is he any different from Aaron Brooks? I guess I expected the Rockets to only have to give up TMac’s contract for something
simple
It’s the classic “buy low/sell high” trade.
Landry – career year.
Martin – down year.
But only an irrational Rockets fan would say that Landry is better than Martin. AND if we keep Sergio, that could pay huge dividends down the road. No more need for Temple or Conroy.
maybe
but it seems like a lot of people are jumping to say that Landry has hit his peak, in the end we won’t find anything out until next year when Yao is back
Bye bye Tracy
The Knicks may still be “in play” so the Rockets could acquire some draft picks, too. We shall see about that. I’m tempted to ignore the Knicks just to stick it to T-Mac one last time.
Vindictive are we? Lets just hope we didnt just trade a injury prone shooting guard for another. I prefer draft picks cause DM knows wth he is doing. Aaron Brooks in the late first round. Carl Landry – traded at his peak for a potential 30 point per game scorer who already knows the offense.
Kyle Lowry – with sergio rodriguez insurance in case we lose him
Second rounder Joey Dorsey – upgraded to the potential of lottery pick Jordan Hill (assuming we pick him up)
Did I miss anything? Let me know when DM turns aaron brooks into chris paul next summer. I can see it already….
well
We already have two draft picks this year… possibly in the lottery, too.
Maybe we can luck our way into Cousins.
Whose pick do yall own?

you said it best, we’re trading one injury prone guard for another, anyone checked Kevin Martin’s career stats? When he’s playing he’s great, but he’s only played one full season once in his career.

, anyone checked Kevin Martin’s career stats?
No, you are the first. We need to get this info to Morey right away!
Because, at the end of the day,
Martin’s injuries have generally been freak stuff. It doesn’t seem to be chronic, like McGrady’s knee issues or back pain. It’s an issue, and he’s probably always going to have some durability concerns, but that’s not enough to freak out here.
good point
But at what point does ‘freak stuff’ turn into injury prone, I’m just not sure this trade won’t end up being more frustrating than anything.
I’m just not sure this trade won’t end up being more frustrating than anything.
Martin has an incredibly reasonable contract. Even if he croaks on us, the overall effect on the Rockets’ ability to compete will be minimized. When McGrady went down, the Rockets had $22 million in dead weight. Should Martin go down, it’s only half that.
When you average out the money long term.
It will end up that Monta Ellis by virtue of signing a big deal and being a 2nd round pick will have gotten more money than Kevin Martin who was a late 1st round pick. Yet Kevin Martin is a terrible deal. Ayup.

k-mart is hurt all the time
sorry guys but k-mart plays like 15 games a year thats why we traded him ok he plays more than 15 but hes been hurt the last 3 years like 20-30 games a year. i hope wwe don’t trade him to the knicks or buy him out. make him playout this year then in the offseason make a play for one of the big names out there and pair that person with evans (hopefully james but i don’t thinks hes leaving because of the wizards trade). back bto the trade, i hope you have fun with kevin, he will make u happy when he scores a bunch, sad when he gets hurt (you know its gonna happen so just prepair for it), and pissed when he tries to get fouled at the end of the game insted of taking the open 3. i wish him the best but this is the secong time we bested u in a trade, how did that artest trade work out?

ever stop to think...
Let’s do a quick Martin/Tracy comparison:
Yes, Martin has an injury history, but Sacramento fans are PISSED that he is being traded.
This is now the 3rd time Tracy has been traded. And not once have his hometown fans been sad to see him go.
Things that make you go “hmmmmmmm”
And not once have his hometown fans been sad to see him go
I was sad. Not now, since I came to terms with it back in December, but I’m going to miss what he was able to contribute.
but you are weird...

wow, i missed one
Vassilis “I miss my mommy” Spanoullis was turned into Luis freaking Scola. Cmon guys. DM definitely knows what he is doing
Did you hear we traded T-Mac?
I’m still having a hard time reading this thread with guys who (like me) have known this day was coming and at what cost. You knew we were going to give up potential game players with the Rockets. You thought it’d just be T-Mac, Cook, Dorsey, or even Hayes….NO! You knew we’d sacrifice it………
So now what you do is understand the trade. It’s a ‘future’ contender past this season. Yes I’d like for them to make a run at it but be realistic fans, Martin, Battier, Brook, Ariza, and Scola. Too small to do anything deep in the playoffs……Now let Martin play a game and move past the T-Mac era it’s over. No need to keep writing the exact same posts about what you think Martin will produce, or where DM dropped the ball by not trading the player YOU wanted out of Houston. After Saturday you can make necessary assessments……

ChRiS BOsH
I THOUGHT LONG AND HARD, WHY WOULD DAREL MOREY LEAVE EVERYTHING UP TO YOA MING’S HEALTH NEXT YEAR. i ACTUALLY THINK THE ROCKETS MAY STILL BE OPEN TO SIGNING CHRIS BOSH NEXT YEAR, AND IT TURNS OUT THOMAS, RODRIGUEZ, AND ARMSTRONG’S CONTRACT END AT THE END OF THE SEASON PLUS BRIAN COOK WONT BE SEEN ON THE BENCH ANYMORE SO THIS CAN OPEN UP SOME SPACE FOR CHRIS BOSH POSSIBLY
1. stop shouting
2. After this trade the Rockets will have about $6M to spend on free agents this summer. That does NOT include trying to re-sign Luis Scola or Kyle Lowry.
3. Chris Bosh isn’t signing anywhere for $6M.
What a good trade for the Rockets
If I had to pick a GM for the Blazers and I couldn’t take St. Kevin, I’d pick Morey. Martin is the most efficient scorer in the league by eFG% but he’s been plying his trade in anonymity. If he played in a big media market like New York everybody would be worshiping him. Y
ou get a solid backup PG for Brooks whom you can resign on the cheap. You didn’t have to take back a single bad contract like Nocioni or Udrih. Martin’s shortcomings on defense will be more than adequately covered by Battier and Ariza, and now Ariza can return to being a secondary scorer instead of the primary role for which he is ill-suited. And there’s nothing onerous at all about Martin’s contract.
"One of the bright spots of the young season has been rookie point guard Jonny Flynn, whose name sounds like he should be the lead character in a Broadway Musical. "What are you doing here, Jonny Flynn?" "Why I'm here to court trouble, and woo a girl, and build the most fantastical contraption the world has ever seen!" -- Dave, Game 7 Blazers versus Timberwolves preview
yup
I really like Sergio as a “throw-in” but it looks like we are going to send him to the Knicks for Jordan Hill and a draft pick.
looks like its a 3 wayer with the knicks
The Kings have traded Tracy McGrady to the Knicks, sources tell Y! Sports.
Houston will receive Kevin Martin and Jared Jeffries, while Sacramento will acquire Carl Landry, Larry Hughes and Joey Dorsey.
New York will also receive Sergio Rodriguez.
The Knicks will reportedly keep Jordan Hill according to Alan Hahn of Newsday, which was a sticking point for Donnie Walsh.
A trade call is reportedly coming soon, according to a Yahoo! source.
