    This defense is going to get uglier.

    Be prepared for a lot of curl plays with C-Bud and Martin on the floor at the same time.

    I don't know how I feel about this trade. I think the sentiment of losing Landry is what's got me mixed. Why didn't they take Brian Cook...he can shoot a lot

    this has to be a trade for next year with morey expecting yao be back to his old self 100%, with some trades in the offseason to improve other parts.

    he's shooting 39.7% this season with a guy who draws double teams also on the perimeter in tyreke evans.

    again, i'm sure kmart will shoot and play better here. but can he regain that scoring efficiency that he had 2 years ago? i think all rocket fans hope he will EXPLODE.

    Morey and Sacramento have Donnie by the balls right now......It would be epic if Morey gets Kevin Martin, Jordan Hill, 2 picks, and (ugh) jefferies

    I think we need to go after Bosh in the offseason now... IMO he's the one player worth paying the Luxury tax for. What do y'all think?

    For the Kings to take Jared Jeffries, they're also asking for David Lee and picks in N.Y., source says. Guess how that's going over at MSG?

    It very well could end up this way, yes. Maybe with a little more protection on the picks than Morey wants, but MAN, is that a great haul.

    If the Kings had called you AFTER the previously reported Rockets/Knicks trade went down and said they'd give you Kevin Martin in exchange for Carl Landry and Larry Hughes, you're telling me you WOULDN'T do that???

    Fingers crossed.

    Kobe was injured that season, but isnt prone to miss games/lose production because of injury

    We probably wouldn't get the picks.... but probably Jefferies and Hill.... with Sac getting Hughes/Harrington and the picks.... that'd be my guess anyway.

    I agree, yesterdy I said Morey was tighting the noose on NY so NY called the bluff thus Morey let them hang themselves. Now NY is grasping for air and are watching their 2 max dreams go bye bye.

    We'll see, according to Kings fans Kevin Martin didn't do well at all with Tyreke for whatever reason. 22 games is still a small sample size from a guy returning from a injury.

    All these scenarios are "pending". Most three way deals are contingent on other factors. Me thinks there are plenty of options on the table.

    One should also consider ALL deals this year as posturing for huge free agent market NEXT year.

    Les and Morey won't take Jeffries if all they're getting in addition is Hill. It will take at least one REALLY good future first round pick as well.

    man kings have all the leverage now. now knicks could end up losing hill to us, lee + picks to the kings. damn, walsh is gonna get owned if this goes through.

    kings would make out like bandits, and morey actually does fine if he lands hill.

    Lol this is hilarious.

    I feel bad for Jeffries. You have to give up your young prospects just to get rid of the guy.
