    I don't know why people are so down on Kmart. His salary is consistent with a number 2 scorer and was brought to Houston to be a number 2 scorer. We just need a primary player to create shots for him and the rest of the team.

    How many other players, not making the max or on their rookie scale contract, contribute as much as Kmart? He would be great playing next to an elite big man like Howard.

    Exactly. And don't doubt that Morey knows this. He's gonna be doing everything he can to get a star to play with him.

    agreed but in order to get a number one scorer, they would probably have to include Martin in the deal. So having him here is just a reminder to me that the Rockets are going no where and its frustrating at times. Well thats how i feel.

    He is ok.... but people are comparing him to Ray Allen. Last time I checked Ray Allen used to score 25,27 points a game which is above what Kevin would score.
    He is a good 2nd scorer but the 2nd best player. I wish we could have a second best complete player. Not too much to ask for.

    It's understandable. Just remember that Kevin was brought here to play with Yao. :(

    It is sad. If we did have Kyle,Lin to pair up with

    McGrady
    Battier
    Hayes, Scola
    Yao

    Easily a win. Move on, all we can do.

    Its hard to find complete players in the league who both score over 20 pts and still play good defense. Those guys are generally superstars, or very near superstar status like Iggy.

    Anyway most people just complain without understanding that all we really got for Kmart was Tmac and Landry. He's a bargain either way, posters that complain about him being "fool's gold" forgot we got him for a song.

    lulz you knew Tracy blew his value.
    No way a Tracy in 2006 and Landry for KevMart would be a good deal.

    Tmac back then, 24 points 5 rbs 5 assists
    Landry a 14 ppg scorer off the bench

    And he gets paid the same as Hedo, Ben Gordon, and Luol Deng and just a little more than Jason Terry and Corey Magette.

    Martin is the same color as tiger, I think him and Lin might have the same father.
