I know you Warrior Fans are rejoicing and celebrating on Ash Wednesday that your Warriors whooped the living crap out of my Beloved Sacramento Kings tonight. But we left with a lovely parting gift. In trading the last link to Kings Success, Kevin Martin, to the Houston Rocket for Tracy McGrady.
Now the trade details as follows:
Houston gets: Kevin Martin, Sergio Rodriguez, Hilton Armstrong, & Kenny Thomas
Sacramento gets: Tracy McGrady, Carl Landry, & Joey Dorsey
Here's why this makes sense in my mind for the Kings and this is probably the only reason why... McGrady's contract. This is his last year worth $20 Million and that tells me that the Kings Wanna be big players in the 2010 free agency class. Plus Sacramento is in position for another high draft choice again (though I still think this year's draft class is weak).
Yes I am sad to see Martin go but it looked like that the Evans/Martin backcourt was never going to workout and plus he gets get to go back to his first NBA coach in Rick Adelman and I think Houston will love Kevin Martin's Scoring ability in addition with what they have now.
I knew the Kings were going to make a move during the trade deadline but not for T-Mac. I would have love to get Tyrus Thomas from the Bulls but what can u do.

last nights game was WOW. we were hitting everything! but i gotta admit some of the kings young players look promising, especially sweet lady. i think you should have a super perimeter guy to go along in the backcourt with him, like a ben gordon type.
ReplyDeleteI agree that's a good trade for the Kings. If the Kings are to keep T-Mac for the rest of this season(I say 'if' cuz as we speak, he may headed to the Knicks)the Kings could see if T-Mac's game would mesh along with Tyreke. If it does then the Kings can try to get that same type of player in the offseason.
ReplyDeleteI spoke too soon. T-mac will be a Knick. And Sacramento Fans will not get his contract. Instead we get Carl Landry, Joey Dorsey, and Larry Hughes. Hughes is like Maggette's Doppelganger. He just takes hogs the ball and gets hurt often. YUCK!
