SoxAce Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) HA! Joe Alexander.. I remember I was a huge fan of his. Raw as s***, but hes got good potential. A crazy athlete (in other words.. white boy got hops) but a project. (sounds familiar I know, but at least his B-Ball I.Q. is much better, not to mention coachable comming out. Typical Paxton move actually at least going for potential) Not a bad chance for him to audition maybe. Worst case, you let him walk anyways (don't think he will "figure it out" really). I'll stomach Warrick here I guess... (nothing against his game, per say, I just hate the guy) I would prefer the 1st deal since both players are younger, but I can care less either way especially since who knows how Noah will be and Taj and we need some bigger bodies too.

nitetrain8601 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Latest from rumorpress.net  The Bulls are willing to trade Brad Miller, Tyus Thomas and Jerome James in exchange for Tracy McGrady. In addition, the Bulls have asked that the Rockets release Miller in order for him to return to the Bulls. The Bulls are unwilling to add any picks or other considerations for a trade that helps them in no way financially for 2010. Its basically a trade to give away Tyrus and to add a scoring punch in McGrady. If the Rockets continue to play hardball, they will likely work out something with the Knicks or nothing at all. If a Tyrus to Rockets deal falls through, the Bulls will likely trade him to the Knicks for Al Harrington. This would be a move, again, to add more scoring punch with the loss of Salmons. If for some reason the Knicks change their mind on trading Harrington or if he is packaged in a Rockets deal, there is a strong chance Tyrus stays for the remainder of the season.

Chisoxfn Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) They would actually lose cap space in that deal, since James and Thomas combined ($11M) are less than Harrington ($10M) They wouldn't lose anything. Either way we are talking about expiring contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 10:27 PM) Wow...... I wonder if there is any possibility of Martin heading to Chicago. The Rockets, Bulls and Kings have suggested and discussed a 3 team deal as recently as today which would have sent McGrady to chicago, which would ultimately save the Kings money.

GoodAsGould Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I would be incredibly pissed if I was a Sacramento fan.

SoxAce Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) It's looking like a three way deal with Houston-Kings-Knicks. GarPax so far is striking out on T-Mac. Â Hmmm.. now could be just Kings-Rockets.. Man s*** will probably be ironed out later tonight. Â Along with Martin, the Kings will send Sergio Rodriguez, Hilton Armstrong and Kenny Thomas to the Rockets. Joey Dorsey and Carl Landry will go to the Kings Edited February 18, 2010 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Martin is a nice player, but his contract is not good. Why would the Rockets give up such a huge, expiring deal for him? Great trade for the Kings, especially since Martin is not needed with Evans around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gave them a tall, athletic, high scoring back court. Â The old "there's only one ball" saying comes into effect with Casspi, Martin, and Evans on the floor (who are all VERY ball dominant type players). Obviously McGrady doesn't help that that, but they aren't going anywhere this year anyways, and maybe they can use the expiring deal money they'll have this winter with McGrady leaving to get some legit help at the 4-5 (the only real 4-5 players they have right now are Hawes and Jason Thompson).

Landry is their PF of the future and if he gets minutes (he will there) he could really be special for them. They got rid of the injury prone Martin and his contract (though Houston's starting 5 is solid Brooks, Martin, Ariza, Scola, Yao [when he gets back] I think they will go) and the Rockets get their SG of the future in Martin. Kings got T-Mac who they will probably trade again to NY making it a three way. (though I hope Gar jumps on that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would tend to agree with the Kings view of Evans as a 2 guard, but now they need to go out and find a point. Â I still don't get that trade for the Rockets though. I'm not a big Martin fan: he's not a real good shooter from the field, he's overpaid, and I feel he puts up empty numbers, kind of like a shooting guard version of an Elton Brand.
