    In addition Kmart has played 22 games and most of them hurt. The rest of his career has been more than solid.

    You are taking a 22 game sample of him...coming off a injury...and learning under a new coach...and saying that he's going to decline dramatically?

    RT @NYPost_Berman: Arn Tellem: 3-way talks ongoing between Knicks-Rockets-Kings and could be the same Knick players involved without picks. 19 minutes ago from UberTwitter

    If we end up having to take Jeffries to get Hill and DON"T get the picks...WOW.

    PLUS, losing Landry...

    Terrible.

    You're the one saying he's a bad shooter like Ariza, not me.

    Uh, I'll take a 27 year old perennial 20 ppg scorer over a future draft pick.

    my bet would be that Jeffries is not involved. The Knicks are desperate and need a potential impact player because their roster is just not that attractive. They would probably just be getting Tmac and Dorsey.

    Im with you totally. Plus if its a protected draft pick we might not end up getting a pick till 2013 depending who they pick up in the offseason.

    No, the whole point is to get rid of Jeffries. They will get Tmac regardless if he goes to Sactown because they will buy him out and Tmac could just sign there.

    but u asked me for shooters that have fallen of, not in a comparison to Ariza. you are looking real bad as far as this point is concerned lmao.

    In any event, the bottom line is he's currently, and for the past couple yrs has been shooting poorly.

    Perhaps Jeffries to Sac and Nocioni to Houston if draft picks involved? Maybe we get Sac's pick and one NY pick? Sac saves Nocioni's salary since Jeffries expires next season.

    A move like this would spell the end of Battier in Houston. I would then expect a deal involving him and Thomas and junk to somewhere like Chicago for Brad Miller and Salmons.

    Would they stillwant T-mac after a buyout? he would be just a player then right? Or would his 23 mil salary still come off of their books in the summer? Im not sure how that works with a buyout.

    LOL...OKAY.

    He's shooting .457 from the field the last 4 years. What are you talking about?

    If T-Mac gets buy out with Kings, he privately hopes to sign with Lakers or Cavaliers for the playoffs, source close to him tells Y! WojYahooNBA

    Supposedly, D'antoni wants Tmac. I think the Knicks want him in a deal though.

    Jeffries may come to us, and maybe the Kings get a pick and we get one...who knows.

    If we get stuck with Jeffries and don't get Harrington and Hill I will be pissed.

    This may end up:

    Rockets get Jeffries, Martin, Hill
    Knicks get McGrady, Rodriguez, Armstrong
    Kings get Hughes, Landry, Dorsey

    Hill is not worth Jeffries IMO.

    If we think we must trade with the Knicks, I'd rather it be:
    Rockets get Hill, Martin, Harrington and Jeffries
    Knicks get McGrady, Rodriguez and Thomas
    Kings get Landry, Dorsey and Hughes

    Personally I'd pass on Hill and try more to get Harrington now that Landry is gone.
