Question: Since Morey got owned in the last Kings deal....

This trade was obviously for next year....so when i add Yao back into the mix plus we still have money to sign a decent PF our lineup looks

Yao, Anderson
Scola, Hill, Hayes
Ariza, Battier,
Martin, Air Bud, J taylor
Brooks, Lowry
1st round pick, 2nd round pick
FA

Ah yeah........Morey track record in drafting is great hence you have landry....

 

...would that be the statue that depicts Jordan in Atlantic City collecting money from on the last NBA bet he won? You know he got suspended for that....most competitive player ever doesn't just walk away for two years in his prime on a passing whim.

 

Also with the assets he got from picks from NY, you already know he is going to try to trade them either during the draft or via free agency in a sign and trade....so yes the ROX future is alot brighter then the Sac Queens....tell u the truth, ya wish ya were still the Sac Queens with webber, divac, peja, christie, bibby, boJax, and turkulo.....

 

You are an idiot.

 

Are you serious? And your some kind of respected member on this board? WTF does that say about this place. Have you ever seen K-Mart play more than 10 games? Do you have any fkn idea what your talking about.

Hey, Carmichael.. GTFO

 

since u called me an idiot, lets hear your smart comments.....

 

Bwah!

MJ played in 1995 and in fact had better stats in the playoffs than he did in the following 3 championship seasons. Unfortunately they were beaten by a team who could not win a game against us :grin:

 

For one thing, all these teams are clearing cap space this season so they can make a run at 3, maybe 4 free agents. Chances are that the Rockets werent going to get Wade or LeBron...could have made a run for Bosh, but thats still up in the air.

Instead, Morey has the team set up for cap space for the following summer, where they will have over 14 million dollars coming off the books. Plus some draft picks to boot.

 

You rock that was fun, take care man

 

We would only have had what I believe is $5-7 million leftover after re-signing Scola and Lowry, nothing close to the $22 mil that is expiring. No way we could've landed anybody near as talented as Martin with that money.

 

PURE AWESOMENESS

 

You know nothing.

 

Rockets wouldn't have had the full 23+ million coming off the books. Scola and Lowry will take up about half of that cap space leaving the Rockets with between 8-10 million to sign a free agent. You aren't getting anything close to Kevin Martin for that amount.

 

Haha good one dave. I loved those epic Lakers/Kings playoff games. I hate the Lakers and was rooting for you guys the whole time.

EDIT: OUCH. My bad, that video was from last year. Man, I thought we would have a rivalry that would last years and years. I mean the Lakers are still contenders...but wow I did not expect the Kings to drop off this much.

At least those Webber, Divac, White Chocolate etc years were memorable. Lots of great clips on YouTube.

YIKES. I did it again, not exactly the most flattering video. You'll get 'em next time dave.

 

Actually, I was hoping Carmichael Dave could have gotten a radio show in Houston myself. Those interviews you did with Artest were classic and very funny. And, as a Houston fan, I appreciate the respect you've always shown our team.

Those of you getting riled up on this thread need to develop a sense of humor.

As far as the original question, I really like how it turned out. Actually, I think all three teams achieved their prime objectives, and that's a hallmark of making a good deal, which Morey probably was the architect of.

And, I bet it comes out, that Martin asked to get traded behind the scenes, so that makes this an even better deal for the Kings, and management can feel good about where they sent him. Giving you guys Landry was hard for us, since he really has become symbolic of the team spirit here. He should be a great influence on youth on the team. This trade stengthened both teams, and if the Knicks don't end up with Lebron, Wade or Bosh, they'll turn out the big losers ... but, this does give them their chance to dream.

 

I've been passing on this thread because of it's, uh, title (had a few choice words, but you know....).

But then I saw it was going on 5 pages...had to take a look.

Glad I did, great hearing from you carmichael dave. I was hoping you'd show up with some thoughts.

B/c Morey being a beast at trade deadline wanted more out of missing teeth and broken knees. We weren't going to give up our assets until we could squeeze every juice out of the market. Morey's mantra coming to the trade is proven superstar, young upcoming talents, pick or else no deal.

 

best thread of the day.
