Updates after the Jump, but main pieces as of now are Tracy McGrady, Carl Landry, Joey Dorsey for Kevin Martin, Kenny Thomas, Hilton Armstrong and Sergio Rodriguez. Updates will stay on this page and continue to be updated as they come in, but continued discussion will take place in this thread.
More updates to come but Stein reporting (and Amick confirms) that Kevin Martin is heading to Houston.
UPDATE (10:30 PM):
Woj says : "HOU in adv talks w/ SAC: T-Mac, Landry, Dorsey for K Martin, K Thomas, Armstrong, Rodriguez"
UPDATE (10:35 PM):
Woj Twitter: "Sacramento management told Paul Westphal to pull Kevin Martin in the second half of loss to Warriors, once agreement was within reach."
UPDATE (10:42 PM):
Amick's Twitter: "Martin has confirmed to me that he is heading to Houston barring any late snags."
UPDATE (10:54 PM):
Woj's Twitter: "Two league sources tell Y! Sports that Kings are unsure whether they will keep T-Mac, or move him onto Knicks in a deal before deadline."
UPDATE (11:01 PM):
Kevin Martin talking to Marc Spears: "I appreciate them letting me go to a playoff caliber team at this time of my career. I used to be the young guy playing with old guys. Now I'm the old guy playing with young guys. Let the young guys develop..."
Sam Amick Blog Post up: "It's a sad day for me in sense that Sac was first team that took chance for me late in first round of draft," Martin said from the team bus. "They showed so much loyalty to me through out the years. They gave me the big contract to show that you loved me...(But) I just think it was time for us to go in a different direction. I was the young guy before, and now I'm the oldest starter. I think it's good."
UPDATE (11:44 PM):
David Aldridge Twitter: If Kings move TMac to NY, it would be 4 same package Knicks were offering Houston: Jeffries, Hill, Hughes, picks.
UPDATE (12:08 PM):
Sam Amick's Twitter
Post 1: "Sounding like McGrady goes to NY in morning. Third team involvement clouds final destinations."
Post 2: "Sergio Rodriguez and Kenny Thomas have no idea where they're going. Just talked to both."
UPDATE (12:23 PM):
Marc Stein's Twitter (Twitter is a lifesaver): "Just spoke to another source close to the situation who said of T-Mac winding up with Knicks on Thursday: "I think it will happen.""
UPDATE (12:32 AM):
Sam Amick's Twitter on T-mac: "Was told of McGrady going to New York: "They'll deal with that component in the morning.""

Funny thing is
I had a discussion with my buddy telling him if a player is sitting out he is a candidate to be traded. WE were watching the Suns game before ours started to see if Amar’e was held out of the lineup. I mentioned that players had been held out of the second half of games when they were put in a trade. He asked if that had ever happened and I said, “Yes all the time.”
I was so busy complaining about the Warrior’s game that I did not even notice Kevin being held out of the second half, and WHAM this happened.
I like how people are coming out of the woodwork pissed about this trade
when for weeks we have been hearing that KMart is the problem, that he is mentally weak, that he cannot play with Tyreke. I was pro-Iguodala becuase I thought he was a talent upgrade and a long-term solution, but I never complained about Kevin as a player.

Houston in advanced talks with Kings for T-Mac, Laundry and Dorsey for Kevin Martin, Kenny Thomas, Armstrong and Rodriguez, sources tell Y
If this is the trade…………… yikes.
It's for real.
Fuck.
That’s all I got.
Wait....Why is everybody clapping? Everyone around me is clapping.... I guess I should be clapping too... GO LAKERS!!! I hate living in So Cal
No way this just happened!
To say I am shocked is an understatement. I am seriously pissed right now!
WOW
I hope this ends up expanding to include other teams, with us getting back some more young talent.
I just threw up a little.

Kevin Martin for Carl Freaking Landry?
At least we have a low post threat now but his defense is bad. And we don’t get rid of Beno or Noc?

TMac, Landry, Dorsey.
Look, Landry’s good, but no clearing Noc or Beno… yikes. Let’s hope there’s a pick or something.
I would have never called this!
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
No doubt! I like him a lot
Just not sure he’s a good enough defender to be a starting PF. So you’re still looking at trading Martin for a backup and clearing his salary without clearing extra.
I’m sure I’ll talk myself into this, just not there yet.
Landry is Houston's best player
They simply choose to bring him off the bench. He’s starting here.

He's not the type of big we need?
Yeah.

He really is our best player
I don’t like that he’s leaving here. At all. He’s 6th man of the year potential to be sure.
Personally, I do
considering we’d have to give up assets to move Noc, Beno, or Cisco, at least this is bringing in assets and moving a big contract (albeit one attached to a damn talented player, I’m trying to think “big picture” here)

You all will regret
For those of you who haven’t the slightest clue of who Carl Landry is. I’m telling you right now that he is an asset to the Sacramento Kings. No disrespect to K-Mart, but it is now proven true that Tyreke and K-Mart cannot coexist in the backcourt.
I’m disappointed in how you so called “fans” bash on Petrie, the man who delivered us Mike Bibby, Doug Christie, Peja Stojakovic, Chris Webber, Vlade Divas, Bobby Jackson, Hedo Turkoglu, Gerald Wallace, Brad Miller, Tyreke Evans… The man knows what he is doing and he will make you all regret your nasty comments.
As for T-mac, I certainly hope that we make a three way trade and send “Brokeback” to the Knicks. I still look forward to seeing Landry suit up for the Kings though. You all should be too.

I am sure he could get better players in retrun, but probably not more expirings. That’s why I question who decided to make this trade.

“It’s a sad day for me in sense that Sac was first team that took chance for me late in first round of draft,” Martin said from the team bus. “They showed so much loyalty to me through out the years. They gave me the big contract to show that you loved me…(But) I just think it was time for us to go in a different direction. I was the young guy before, and now I’m the oldest starter. I think it’s good.”

GP knows what he’s doing, and he’s proven that.
Show me some promising young prospect & a 1st round draft pick
& I will possibly change my tune. Artest is a known malcontent who no one wanted KM is nothing like that.
I love beating dead horses.
Here is a solution
Start and grow three Fortune 500 companies based Sacramento and sponsor the Kings heavily. They are a small market team in a rough financial situation it’s the card they have been dealt.
You guys are seriously underrating Carl Landry
This guy is not chopped liver. I love Kevin. Lets wait for more info though. I will say this though, if we don’t get Landry, then I’ll be really pissed.

How good is Landry with D and boards?
I agree Aykis. Isn’t Landry what the Kings need? I haven’t seen him play enough.
Landry is extremely good on offense
Not so good at rebounding and defense. But hey thats what Kevin Martin is.

yeah but
Kevin doesn’t play PF

True
Landry’s an efficient scorer and great FT shooter, just like KMart. Except he’s a PF.
His numbers will only improve in Sac.
He’s never started a game in his career but that will change, for sure.
For $3 million, he’s beyond a bargain.

Many people have expressed
How good of a player Landry is, and how happy we’ll be once we get to watch him play on a regular basis, etc etc. I would like to remind everyone we just made a trade with the Rockets, one of the most well-run organizations in the league, at least in regards to player scouting and analysis. IMHO, if the Rockets were willing to give him up AND their huge bargaining chip in TMacs expiring salary, they must be convinced Landry does not have high potential as a long-term NBA talent.
I would agree with earlier statements regarding the smell of the Maloofs and $$$ all over this trade.

Rockets traded for Artest
And gave up Casspi and Donté. That sure sucked for the Kings.

And they're getting a very good player
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
I'm not saying Landry is a turd on a stick
I’m just saying, based on Houston’s track record of player analysis, that I don’t expect Landry to be anything more than possibly a bench contributor. That’s just me, though.
You have to give up something
to get something
"Children want what they want when they want it." ... Andy Sims
And also
1. Saying they gave up Casspi is somewhat of a stretch, though technically true.
2. Last I checked, the Rockets were something like 10 games above us. While Casspi and Donte ooze potential, the Rockets are still winning many more games than we are, with their most recognizable player to the average fan being Shane Battier. I’m just saying.

No that was a real disaster. Lots honest shot at a title. Christ the Lakers were fakers, the Kings had the T-Wolves on the ropes early in the series and Pistons had trouble defending the offense. I was much more upset about the window being slammed shut.

They understandably have a lot of emotion invested in Kevin, where as a player like Carl Landry don’t mean jack to the average Kings fan.
After he’s been here a while loyalty will shift, and Landry really does have somthing to offer this team. He plays tough inside and he can put the ball in the hoop.

The more i learn about Landry, the more I like.
We pretty much traded an efficient scoring guard for an efficient scoring forward, which is scarce on the King’s team. Also, his contract is minute for what he provides and we also gain some cap room.
Oh, and we also have Tmac to trade for some other possible pieces. And if nothing turns out, no biggy, he’s not going to play in Sactown anyway.
Webber may be unrealistic
but after some reflection, I like this deal. I feel like a line-up with Landry involved gives us more chance to win than with Kevin. Landry may not be a good defender for his position, but he is better than Kevin. And he is 26, which is young talent in my opinion for a PF, and he is having a break-out season. Whether T-Mac is traded now or later, his expiring contract can only make the deal better.
Well, the next 12 1/2 hours will be the proof. That's all there is to it.

A Warriors fan’s take: strikes me as a decent deal for you guys, as you turned a pricey guard into a cheaper big with similar skills. Given the situation, I don’t know that you were ever going to get better for Martin. Given the financial climate of the league, these flawed $11 million shooting guards of ours aren’t the prizes they might once have been. Always sucks to lose a player you’re attached to, but I think you guys are in pretty good shape here.

I don't think Tyrus could come in and easily take the job away from your established guys, is the thing.
He’s still so raw… I have long said Tyrus could be good in the right situation, but he won’t be able to earn minutes with only 20-something games left in the season. He needs to be given minutes and allowed to make a ton of mistakes.
He is worth getting, but with his contract situation it’ll be tough to know if you’re getting the real Tyrus or not.

I’m not saying we’ll go get him, just making sure you guys know that the Kings NEED to get their hand in a lot of talent (with other things considered of course ie. salaries, age).

Honestly (again, Warriors fan here), I still like that for you guys. Landry’s very good, Jeffries is a freaky-good defender, Hill’s a perfectly fine lottery ticket, and those picks are likely to be pretty decent. It’s not a sexy package, but it strikes me as a good package.

Blazer fan here y'all.
I like this trade for you from a subjective point of view. I know it’s easy to get attached to players, but it just seems that you guys are just better when K-mart is not on the floor. Martin is an exciting player, but I think his scoring efficiency leaves something to be desired, and was slightly overpaid. On the other hand Evans looks to be a crazy efficient player, and I think you had to choose between the two.
Also, Carl Landry is a stud. I can tell you after our playoff series with Houston last year and watching his punishing inside game the guy is a player. Guy got shot in the leg and was playing 6 weeks later. Guy had 3 of Dirk Nowitski’s teeth embedded in his arm and went out the NEXT NIGHT and grabbed like 20 rebounds or something. He is a man. Most Blazer fans would LOOOOVE to have him.
Also I think you could trade T-mac to NY for a player or two and some picks. They want him bad. You also have capspace this summer now, and could sign a nice player. This is a good trade for you.

Kevin Martin wasn't worth at least Shane Battier?

landry is what? another small fwd to squeeze into the logjam?
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
This trade as it stands now is bunk
This stinks. I don’t care how good Landry is at all. He isn’t the defensive stopper who can plug the hole in the low post. If they don’t get that at a cheap price and some picks then this is bunk.
Why would Bosh sign here?

I'd be very interested to know who in the organization pulled the plug on the Kmart/Reke duo?
The decision seems to have been made rather quickly.
I'd say the Suns game
was the beginning of the end.
It’s good to move on. Rebuilding while clinging to remnants from the past that clearly weren’t fitting in was just denying reality. Let’s give our young players the ability to write their own chapters.

Nobody could have predicted Blair would have fallen as far as he did, even Petrie. The trade was done before the draft.
And I'd still take Omri over him

by henryclemente on Feb 18, 2010 12:11 AM PST up reply actions
Well except for the fact that...
We took Brockman something like five picks after him. And Brockman is basically just a lesser Blair with knees. Petrie wanted that kind of player.

by Neil Manich on Feb 18, 2010 12:12 AM PST up reply actions
Well...
If Petrie really has his sights on Blair, he would have either picked him instead of Omri… or never traded away the 31st pick to nab him as soon as he fell to the 2nd round, knowing that other teams wouldn’t want to take him in 1st round with guaranteed contract.
My feeling is that Petrie had no intention of ever picking Blair same as most other teams.
by henryclemente on Feb 18, 2010 12:16 AM PST up reply actions
The trade
…went down prior to the beginning of the draft. At that point in time no one knew Blair would fall that far and be right there for us. He apparently liked Casspi more than Blair, but you have to believe that Petrie would have taken a chance on Blar over Brockman had he not traded that pick.
I'm waiting for Amick and then its ZZZZZZ time
There are some guys smarter than me, some guys better looking, I take comfort in the fact that there is no guy that is both.
Tmacs contract is the big trade here right?
Landry is not as good as martin, But when you take into account what you could get for Tmac. Landry + whatever, Might be equal value to martin..
Quick hint on my piece
I’m glad Kevin is gone. The team wasn’t happy, he wasn’t happy, and it wasn’t working with his teammates. If Geoff Petrie made this trade, I’m good. As much as I love Kevin and wanted it to work here, I know it doesn’t work that way.
Win-Win for both sides. I can live with this deal. I’m going to have buy a Kevin Martin rockets jersey.

Same goes for KMart
His value has been driven down this season by yet another injury plus the slump as he came back. Petrie just doesn’t seem to be fast enough on the trigger when it comes to trades. Sometimes that is a good thing, but it has bitten us in the past.
True...
… but I prefer Petrie’s style than other GMs that are always making panic trades.

Absolutely. It all makes sense now with Kevin this year.
Now I understand why Kevin appeared to have a lack of focus since he came back. By the way, what was the yelling part in the locker room Amick spoke of?

At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Speaking from my perspective, I'm reaaaallllyyyy iffy about this.
On the one hand, we don’t get any bad contracts, get rid of McGrady once and for all…… on the other hand, Martin is from my perspective pretty injury-prone, and we just wasted the last four years with one injury-prone star, and Landry was a badass.
So I’m not quite certain about this. Still, you guys already were my second team, and with Carl Landry, you guys definitely are.
Minnesotan Rockets fan
I think Westphal's desire for toughness
is another piece of this. Landry is by all accounts a hard worker who is tough as nails. That obviously was not Kevin’s strength, especially defensively. When we were winning at the beginning, the Kings would outscrap more talented opponents – it would be nice to get back to that.
I love having T-Mac and making the Bulls and Knicks bid for him. Get your McGrady King’s Jersey – they’ll be going fast and will be collectors item.

Unless
McGrady is moved on to NY for David Lee, I consider this a TERRIBLE trade.
Purveyor of Bull Plop
Talentwise, this is a joke
Horrible. As in shouldn’t be allowed by the NBA because it’s so lopsided. I don’t know about the personality stuff, but Petrie just traded away one of the most efficient scoring shooting guards in the NBA for a backup power forward who doesn’t rebound or play defense. It’s a joke. Petrie should be (is?) the GM for the Rockets.
I have to assume the personality stuff with Kevin was an issue. Both Jones and Amick hinted at it.
If Petrie turns expiring T-Mac’s contract into Jared Jeffries, that actually makes the whole situation worse, and I’m calling for him to be fired. Ugh.
What's not to like?
Kmart was huge liability for $11MM/year. Landry isn’t great defender, but he scores more “efficiently” than Kmart (55% FG, 80% FT) from the 4 and his salary is $3MM.
All the Kmart fans fail to see that he’s 1 dimensional J shooter who’s terrible on D, can’t create his own shot, or attack the basket. For $11MM?!?
GP is a God. I hope Kings get draft pick out of Knicks, but regardless … they still have chips to play, with legit chance to snap up Evan Turner or high upside young ‘un in June’s draft. GP and Westphal are building young, tough, energetic team – Evans, Casspi, Landry, JT, Hawes, Greene, and Brockness are a great start.
My friend is a Lakers fan
He’s pretty impartial about what happens with our team (he cares just as much about what happens to the Rockets). He sent me the text telling me about it: “Kings just made a good trade”. Other teams’ fans seem to all be coming out to tell us that we made a pretty good deal. Perhaps Martin’s value wasn’t as high as we liked to think.
