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

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Re: Stein: Kevin Martin to Rockets

They unloaded Jefferies...
 
And it happens...lolknicks.
 
Knicks are really gambling on this year's free agency and now have a likely low 2011 pick and none in 2012. Can't wait till they come away from all this with Boozer and Joe Johnson and they are a 35-win team for the next 6 years...
 
This hurts the Knicks more. They've been overestimating their position in free agency, and it's more likely to back fire on them then not. Now with Chicago having room, Wade is going there or staying in Miami, and I don't see Bosh leaving Toronto.

James is probably the most likely, but even then that has an incredibly low chance of happening. Now when they come up empty handed and having to give Joe Johnson a hefty contract, they wont have the chance to rebuild through the draft for 2 more years.
 
If LeBron signed an extension right now that old guy would go into cardiac arrest...

Sitting there with no draft picks and TMAC...lol...
 
Players under salary for Knicks next year:

Wilson Chandler
Danillo Gallinari
Eddy Curry
Toney Douglas

Yeah that's quite enticing...

Rockets made out like bandits in this deal.. They only gave up TMAC and Joey Dorsey but got Jordan Hill, Kevin Martin and Knicks picks for two years... Just remembered they did give up Landry but that's still a good deal, especially if Knick picks are high...

Even if the Knicks are still in play, no way it's going to involve Jeffries' contract.

Sac doesn't wanna have any more extra salary that isn't for usable talent.

If T-Mac gets shipped to the Knicks, it'll be EC's for EC's.

Man I believed you.
 
And I thought Danny Ferry knew how to trape.....

Daryl Morey got over like a fat rat.
 
Wow. The Knicks are serious about clearing out some cap space.
 
The Rockets GM just unloaded McGrady and Landry for

Kevin Martin/Jordan Hill and 2 first round picks...

Well done...

Well they did give up Carl Landry, so it's a little different than us giving up nothing. But yeah, fantastic deal right there.

Though he has a bad contract, Jeffries is by no means a bad player.
 
I love Morey, one of the biggest stat-heads in the game. If it was the Hou-Sac straight up deal it'd be bad...but damn, he crushed this trade.

edit: LOL NYK

Correction: Knicks pick in 2011 is Top 1 protected. In 2012 the Knicks pick is Top 5 protected
