[Gossip] T-Mac in trade talks; Involves Kevin Martin and Nocioni

K-mart is young. He would be added to a young nucleus. McGrady was old before last season.

Would you rather add Steve Nash or Chris Paul to your young team?

 

Hell Yes for getting rid of Trash Mcgrady, but hell no for another injury prone to be a rocket. Enough.

 

Just say no to a guy who avg 20+ games missed for the last 2 season and will miss 20 more this season.

 

The same thing. Chase just now looks like a stud that possibly can drop 20 a night.

 

calm down, he's coming off the bench and no team is game planning for him yet. he's going to have his ups and downs.

 

Thats why I did say possible. Not consistantly. Sheesh....

 

Never thought i'd actually say this but, please, don't post anymore...

 

I really don't like Kevin Martin, he is a tmac waiting to happen...
I would prefer a less fancy player. The idea of getting Hamilton, and whoever comes with him, is great to me. Even if it is injuried Prince.

 

Kevin Martin is 26. He's valuable even if injury prone. The Rockets can trade him any time. It's about maintaining an asset that can't regained in free agency because the Rockets simply don't have the cap space.

 

Hamilton's contract is obscene. He gets paid for the next 4 years @ $12.6million.
Martin makes similar money (a little bit less) - but Martin is a higher level player.

The interesting part would be Nocioni - I'm not certain how he would fit.


Interesting rumour to say the least.

 

Pshh, they're still waiting for us to sign that max player that will never come.

 

Nocioni played heavy minutes at the 4 for the Bulls...

Brooks, Lowry
Martin, Budinger
Ariza, Battier
Scola, Nocioni
Hayes, Landry

 

Can we agree we need a little size behind the Chuckster? Andre 6.7

 

T-mac is 3 years older than K-mart right?

Nash is what, 11 years older than Chris Paul?


Your comparison is a big fail.

 

at least kevin martin is younger. if we could trade t-mac for martin straight up, then hell yeah i would do this move. but if we gotta move some of our current roattion players, then i say hell no to this move! id rather just swap for inrury prone players, and see how both t-mac, and martin play their respective teams after they finally get healthy.

 

I think Martin needs a change of scene to really get going. Kind of like Ariza.

Martin has never been on a winning team and on such a great group that the Rockets are. In the right position, with the right coach, and the right group around him, I don't see any reason why this top notch offensive player couldn't late blossom.
He is definitely not the headcase kind and if RA really wants him its probably that he knows he can be that good.

I wouldn't mind taking a chance at him, and at this point, he has more value than Tmac IMO if we want to trade him later...

 

Martin - 6th season

McGrady - 13th season
