He'll like playing for Adelman again.

WOW - I didn't think think this would actually happen now

 

[kingsnation]

Wow

 

[Arkitect]

I really want to know the details. I wonder if we are getting back the corpse of Tmac. Though it looks like NY is involved which makes more sense.

 

[DesertFox]

The Rockets are my #2 team, and if Kmart is going anywhere, that is it.
And Landry is a monster.

 

[xyrin]

"Kenny Thomas, Hilton Armstrong and Sergio Rodriguez will also come to Houston, while McGrady, Carl Landry and Joey Dorsey will be outgoing."

 

[Lafayette]

If somehow the Kings get Landry and some crap throw away contracts then that's good enough. Even if they end up with McGrady that's fine also.

We get Carl Landry as well! WOOHOO!!

 

[Lafayette]

If somehow the Kings get Landry and some crap throw away contracts then that's good enough. Even if they end up with McGrady that's fine also aslong as they get a pick out of it.

 

[xyrin]

Sounds like we got Landry and Mcgrady

 

[Lafayette]

Thats a good deal because they can turn around and trade McGrady if they want again.

 

[king07]

Good luck to K-Mart, i think he will be happy to play for Adelman again.

 

[=LarryLegend=]

looks like Petrie told Wesphal to pull Kmart at the half.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

wow im stunned...

 

[AussieKing]

Can it please include either Noc, Beno, or Cisco... They're terrible contracts

 

[Bricklayer]

It had to be done.

And as an aside, other than the defense where Battier and Hayes will gnaw his leg off before they let him slack, its hard to imagine a better fit for Kevin. They need what he brings, and when Yao returns, he's still the right inside/outside fit there in a way he could not be here. Throw in Adelamn being the coach, and its hard to see a better chance for him.

The Sacramento Kings have reached an agreement in principle with the Houston Rockets on a trade that will swap Kevin Martin(notes) for Tracy McGrady(notes), league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Along with Martin, the Kings will send Sergio Rodriguez, Hilton Armstrong(notes) and Kenny Thomas(notes) to the Rockets. Joey Dorsey(notes) and Carl Landry(notes) will go to the Kings


This is from yahoo sports and Adrian W.

 

[deekay2o9]

I hope T-Mac is instantly waived or traded. Do not want his drama here at all.

Stein says NY might be getting McGrady.. so hopefully we get Landry and someone from the Knicks?

 

[=LarryLegend=]

I hope the Kings send Tmac to NYK to for Hill and draft picks??

 

[Gabriel]

It's about time to see Petrie take a risk for a change. Huge trade. If you want to get better, you have to make some risks. Obviously, not everybody is going to like seeing Kevin go, but let's be honest he was never going to be the player that everyone hoped and the only way we could improve is by using him to bring in some firepower. Great day to be a Kings fan. T-Mac may be old but he is still a beast.

 

[theclash4u5]

Martin has confirmed that he's being traded to the Rockets, per Sam Amick...

 

[xyrin]

What if we do this deal, then swing McGrady to another team by the end of the deadline? Landry, Dorsey + Whomever the other team gives us for McGrady... It isn't looking too bad...

 

[OptimusRhyme]

As much as i hate this, Landry is a great player.. I wonder what we can get from NY for Tmac??

 

[ReinadelosReys]

Had a feeling this was the case, but still shocked it happen and the details of who and how.

Always sad to see players who were so productive for us so many years. The last remaining player of Aldeman's era is now back with him. Kevin will love being back with Aldeman, he'll flourish under his system. Wish him all the best and will no doubt see him light us up for 25+ points years to come.

The Tyreke Evans Era has definitely begun, if it had not already. To the future.
