    I bet he was somewhere in our roster the entire time.

    But never seemed to get his name right.

    This trade makes perfect sense: Maori felt the team's sturdy white guy reserves were getting dangerously low.

    It must be interesting to get drafted and see teams trade you as a fake asset 10 years later. Lol

    What exactly is the point of teams throwing in the rights for players that will never see the light of day in the NBA? Like this Morey insist on getting him back or did Dallas insist on us taking his right back or was it some intern that thought it was funny and added his rights to the paperwork?!

    he's no Lishouk, but Maarty has the distincition of being traded away from the Rockets before he was even a Rocket - the original second round draft pick used to pick him was sent to the Hornets for Kirk Snyder, then reacquired in 2008 (as part of a Lishouk deal, of course.) - a sad preview of his future assetization.

    Right? What's the point of trading a (practically) zero-value, intangible asset. I wonder if @BimaThug could shed some light on it.

    It's not a trade if you don't trade something. True CBA story, bro.

    Notice Maarty is the *only* thing Cuban traded.

    Watched him a lot way back when Aaron Brooks and him played for Oregon. Always thought with his shooting, he might have had a chance to play a little in the league. I guess ot just wasn't meant to be.

    Maarty's like an old sock that feels comfortable. or that nostalgic smell of your favorite brand of coffee. almost comforting in a way. you wonder how you ever lived without him. ;)

    This. We have them Nanu, we have them cash, we are getting the worse pick... everything is favouring Dallas so not a trade unless we get something of value in return.

    A zero value asset is still more than trading nothing at all. You need to trade *something* for the trade to be completed
