Stein: Kevin Martin to Rockets / T-Mac to Knicks

[Smooth]

WOW!

Trade-deadline alert just filed to ESPN.com: Rockets have agreement in principal with Sacramento to acquire Kevin Martin

Deal could expand before Thursday's 3 p.m. deadline into a three-way trade scenario that lands Tracy McGrady in New York with Knicks

Although full trade details not yet known, one league source told ESPN.com that T-Mac will end up with Kings or Knicks by time deadline hits

Kings will probably end up with what the Knicks gave up...

EXCELLENT news boys! Looks like NY may not have their desired cap space for two max contracts. Beautiful way to end an already beautiful day!

Re: Stein: Kevin Martin to Rockets

WojYahooNBA Sacramento management told Paul Westphal to pull Kevin Martin in the second half of loss to Warriors, once agreement was within reach.

How common is it for players to be pulled in the middle of games/while warming up?

Re: Stein: Kevin Martin to Rockets

Pretty good trade for the Rockets, acquired a nice young star.

Not very worried about the Rockets improving too much. Martin is a very efficient scorer, but defense and health are two things he still hasn't quite got a handle on..

Re: Stein: Kevin Martin to Rockets

Amazing trade for the rockets....

On a side note: how does Jared Jeffries + Jordan Hill + 2011 First for Wally S&T sound?

We might get flamed by the media for "opening up cap room to sign LBJ" - but I'm pretty confident he's not leaving, especially with a new talent infusion for almost nothing.
