    Kevin Martin getting bought out means he's for sure not coming to Houston.

    I decided to take a short break from the madness and now I come back to see "Cousins to Houston" This is getting ridiculous. Can't wait until all this is over with because I'm not sure how much I can take. Don't think my body is ready... :( lol

    And I'm just saying that they can still agree to a trade in principle before midnight.. i
    It just wouldn't be official until after.

    LOL for sure. That is one guy who would NEVER want to be here again. I honestly think if he were even traded here he would pull a Fisher and just demand a buyout instead of suiting up.

    Damn, would be nice to have K-Mart scoring off the bench for cheap.

    This is funny.

    Houston Rocket trade deadlines are ridiculous.

    Martin isnt the same player he can score but the Mavs would be loaded but how many players can they have on that team? Can you imagine if Morey tries to claim Martin off of waivers though? Lol

    I am not worried if the Mavs get Martin - they will be an even tougher team no doubt but they are just trying to add players and names for the sake of it and not looking at fit - despite what cuban says about chemistry. the guy is making moves based off of emotion and hasnt resulted in a significantly better product on the court

    Am I missing something? Martin is a seemingly valuable asset, why would they just give him away for free? and pay him for the pleasure of doing it?

    Lost credibility? For posting a funny tweet, but something that was interesting and not Woj repeating the same story over and over again?

    I doubt it. I bet he gets picked up off waivers by ATL or someone else.

    How do buyouts compare to being waived? If the player is waived I know the player's salary still counts against the cap for the remainder of the contract (or longer if stretched), but what happens when the player is bought out? Do they no longer have to clear waivers either?
