Why would houston want to take on long term money instead of just letting T-Mac expire? If they’re worried about chemistry issues then just buy him out and let him sign with a contender.

not them just looking for it. In other words, they are not looking to be cheap, they will do any trade that they think will improve thier team.

What an unpleasant sentence that is.

It’d likely be a negative for the Kings this year, but it’s leave oodles/shitloads of cap space for the summer. It’s not an optimal scenario, but you’d have to consider it, even if they ask for Garcia in place of one of the other 3 names mentioned.

It might take Martin, K9 and Nocioni and that, my friends, is way, way too much.

Hell, Martin is way too much, on a 1:1 trade.

Somebody was sniffing paint fumes on this one.

It makes zero sense for the Kings. Shipping T-mac to NY if they are serious about a run at LeBron is more like it. We won’t be making a run at LeBron, Wade, Bosh, etc., so there is no need to destroy our team chemistry and lose Martin doing it.

I can understand Houston wanting to get something for T-mac. If they can get a player that they can add to their rotation, they can make the playoffs. If they weren’t in the playoff hunt, they would just let him expire and go after Bosh, who is a Texas native. There is a strong chance they can make a play for Bosh anyway, so I bet T-mac stays there.
