    let's hope so. this is a bad deal for us if morey's goal is to build a championship team.

    Though we got Martin, this trade failed. I felt like we should at least get their first round pick also and a bit more talent in return. Bad trade by Morey. Basically we gave up Tmac and Landry for Martin.

    I don't think Martin will be moved. The other packages of expiring contracts might.

    Well, if a person only makes $10/hr, it's the right decision to giveup his Ferrari and Hummer.. :grin: :grin:

    Sounding like McGrady goes to NY in morning. Third team involvement clouds final destinations. 20 minutes ago from TweetDeck

    Sergio Rodriguez and Kenny Thomas have no idea where they're going. Just talked to both. #nbakings 21 minutes ago from TweetDeck

    Martin has confirmed to me that he is heading to Houston barring any late snags. about 2 hours ago from TweetDeck

    “At halftime coach said the said there is a trade involving you,” Martin said. “You are the piece. My first question was, ‘Who is the team?’ ‘Houston.’ I was good with it. It’s time to move on.

    Chicago initially sought McGrady's expiring contract to break into the club but found another way with the help of the Bucks. And Houston -- having landed Martin after numerous inquiries were rejected by Sacramento -- has ensured that it landed a rising star in exchange for McGrady no matter what happens in discussions with the Knicks on Thursday.

    since when is martin NOW a rising star? morey considers him a rising star?

    Do you think Morey would agree with you?

    Maybe Morey knows something we don't?

    My biggest question is...

    Who's going to shoot technical free throws now? Martin or Yao?

    we just gave up the biggest expiring in the league for a lateral move at the SG position and gave up our best player...

    My world is falling apart.

    Q: Which NBA team starts two players shooting under 40%?

    A: The Houston Rockets. Take your pick, two out of three: Ariza, Battier and Martin are all shooting under 40%.

    Yes along with everybody else. The only time I remember him hurt he was out like 1 and half weeks. And if you are talking about him getting shot then you have a point. :grin: Damn our Iron-Man is gone.

    It was merged into this thread. There's really no need to have a different thread for every article about the trade. It clutters up the GARM. It's all the same topic.
