    As I said in the trade thread, getting Hill would make this trade a complete success.

    NYK have run out of all options. Look at their fans, they are going crazy over there!

    No pressure on Morey, he already has Kmart in his pocket, Hill would just be a major bonus right now...and picks...sheesh thats a given.

    If the Rockets get Jeffries, the luxury tax is here next season. I can't see Les doing this without draft picks.

    If we land Jeffries though (in order to Hill I assume), could we even afford Scola and Lowry in the offseason? :confused: This deal has me thoroughly perplexed

    If the Knicks want to get rid of the contract of Jeffries and T-Mac wants to be a Knick ... this one might have a shot:

    http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=yhxp7kv

    Rockets get the players Kings offer AND Hill ...

    New line-up:

    C: Hayes/Anderson/Armstrong
    PF: Scola/Hill/Thomas
    SF: Ariza/Battier/Taylor
    SG:Martin/Budinger
    PG: Brooks/Lowry/Rodriguez

    or ... if DM takes this oppertunity to trade Battier:

    http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=ylqhxu6

    New line-up:

    C: Hayes/Anderson/Armstrong
    PF: Scola/Hill/Thomas
    SF: Ariza/Udoka/Taylor
    SG:Martin/Budinger
    PG: Brooks/Lowry/Rodriguez

    Expiring contracts: +/- ... $ 13.28M

    HOUSTON - NBA sources told FOX 26 Sports early Thursday morning the Houston Rockets have reached an agreement on a trade with the Sacramento Kings that sends Tracy McGrady to the Kings for guards Kevin Martin and Sergio Rodriguez, center Hilton Armstrong and forward Kenny Thomas.

    The Rockets will also send the Kings forwards Carl Landry and Joey Dorsey.

    However, league sources told FOX 26 this trade could grow to a much larger deal that could move McGrady to the New York Knicks as part of a three-team trade.

    If that is the case Dorsey would be moved to the Knicks and the Rockets would get forward Jordan Hill from New York.

    "I won't know everything until in the morning," said Dorsey in an interview with FOX 26 Sports. "I'm told both teams like me. So I'm looking forward to getting a chance to play.

    Dorsey said he was not caught off guard by the trade.
    "No, I'm not surprised," Dorsey said. "Mac (McGrady) told me I was going to be traded with him. I just didn't know Carl was going to be traded too."

    Landry has already come to grips with what has happened.

    "I'm fine," Landry said in an an interview with FOX 26. "I'm upbeat.
    "I'm excited about a new beginning with Sacramento. Houston has been great to me. I've build a lot of relationships here and I'm going to miss it.

    "I look forward to playing with the Kings and bringing them some life."

    Rockets general manager Daryl Morey has not been available for comment.

    The Kings certainly wouldn't have a need for Hill with Landry, Hawes, Jason Thompson and Brockman in their frontcourt, and plus the faith I have in Morey says this would be his reasoning for moving Carl.

    It makes no sense for the Rockets to add Jeffries and Hill and their 10 mill or so to the roster next year. Would the Knicks take some salary back? Maybe Ariza and Cook for Jeffries and Hill? They still shave about 4 mill in salary for next year and LeBron is a fan of Ariza if I'm not mistaken.

    This trade works if the Knicks are indeed a part of it:

    Rockets receive: Martin, Hill, Armstrong, Kenny Thomas

    Knicks receive: T-Mac, Dorsey, Rodriguez

    Kings receive: Landry, Hughes, Jeffries

    To me, it seems the Kings want two things: Carl Landry and expiring contracts.

    I doubt they care if the expiring contracts are McGrady's or a bunch of Knicks players. I also doubt the Kings are willing to take back Jeffries.

    My guess? We end up trading McGrady to New York for Jeffries, Hill, and expirings. We take those expirings and turn them over to Sacramento with Landry for Martin. Other folks (Dorsey, Cook) will be tossed in where necessary to make salaries match.

    ^ This.

    The second I heard Landry was involved I thought we would be getting Hill somehow. And it would make the sting of losing Carl a LITTLE easier.

    This just in:Morey's not a fool.

    the kings have to take jefferies they are getting a young scoring threat in Landry in the deal and are able to dump martin in the deal.

    Martin has 4 years left in his deal and clearly isnt fitting in with the kings and getting paid roughly the same as jeffries is (or will be after the trade kicker) so the kings reduce the number of years needed to pay marting by 2 and save what like 30 million in the deal?

    i see it going down like this:

    kings: landry, jeffries, dorsey, hughes, rights to 2012 pick
    Rockets: martin, hill, thomas, armstrong, 2011 swap
    knicks: tmac, sergio, cook (ok maybe this cook thing is just wishful thinking on my part but it works)


    the 2011 swap is pointless to the kings since chances are their pick will be around the same range as the knicks so they would probably one of the two picks outright...most likely they land the 2012 pick the knicks swap the 2011 pick with the rockets with some protection

    morey has 3 hours to hopefully work his magic

    I think Amare is going to end up in San Antonio,, that would be horrible news for the Rockets not to mention how much better the Mavs are now with their new players...
