I like Landry a lot, I think he's gonna be a nice pickup for us because he lives in the paint offensively and defensively I think he's a perfect fit for our new look kings and frankly im happy to get Kmart outta here.
If Petrie can swing Tmac for the Knicks first rd pick he will be elevated to god status!

I like this trade...so far. First off, I want to thank Kevin for everything he has done for this franchise. It's unfortunate, but he just didn't fit with the direction this team is going. Not his fault, just the way it is. I'm glad he's getting the opportunity to go to a playoff caliber team, and a team with a coach and a system he should fit perfectly into. It will be fun to watch a backcourt of Brooks and Martin, with Ariza, Scola, and Yao(next year). I really think this will work out well for Kev and the rockets.
Landry is a great pickup for us. Dorsey is a little like Brockman, but more athletic. Good rebounder in limited minutes. We have to see what happens with TMac. I doubt he ever suits up for us. Maybe he goes to NY? Maybe we buy him out? But the options of either getting young talent from NY, or maybe someone else, because I bet Petrie is getting more than a few phone calls right now, or letting all that money come off the books this summer is exciting. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out.
This creates more playing time for Donte and Omri, as long as coach keeps Noc and Ime on the bench. But I like a 3 man rotation of Omri, Donte, and Cisco(when healthy) at the sg and sf. Others moves are obviously coming, and I really like how this is playing out so far. I'm kinda shocked this is hapenning, given I didn't think anything would happen a few hours ago, and now a third of our roster is gone.

1) Well, at least all the complaining about KMart ought to stop.
2) If we don't end up with about 2-3 first rounders out of this, I'm going to be disappointed. It's not like Landry is going to help out our defense any, and his rebounding rate has been dropping like a stone since his rookie year.
3) If the rumors that we might include T-Mac for the same package the Knicks were offering Houston (something like Hill, Jeffries, Hughes + a pick), presumably we'd have to send Dorsey (or Brockman or Udoka) along as well because we wouldn't have the roster spots. (5 in: Hill, Jeffries, Hughes, Landry, Dorsey; 4 out: Martin, KT, Sergio, Hilton) I'm not sold on Hill, but I guess Hill, Landry, a Houston pick and a future NY pick wouldn't be a disaster. Though we don't save much money for next season here, with Jeffries and Hill at like $9.5M together. That gets me closer back to "ugh" territory.

if we keep the expiring, what allstar is going to want to come to sacramento, if we trade him to the knicks, im hoping for more than hill, a pick and jeffries. i personally didnt want hill anywhere near us during the draft. but if we can somehow get david lee, the pick, and not have to take on a terrible contract...

I had hoped to get more than expirings for Kmart but was content if that were to happen. However, if we were going to trade him for one of the larger contracts (McGrady/Allen) I wanted to see one of our other longer contracts go with it.
I'm not a huge fan of seeing KT being included. I guess we'll see how everything plays itself out and if any other things take place with NY.
With all that said, I do wish Kevin the best of luck. He's handled himself wonderfully this year. And this just gives me more incentive to continue to root for the Rockets.

It looks like we are sending T-Mac to NY for Hill, Houges (exp), Jeffries (not so high on him and his contract, but we can trade him next year) and draft pick.
I'd really like to see this happening. If we can get Landry, Dorsey, Hill and Knicks' first round pick it would be a great trade. And then we would have a huge exp with Houghes' contract.

If T-mac gets traded to the knicks Petrie will be looking good. According to David Aldridge, what the kings will be geting in the T-mac deal to New York will be similar to the deal the kincks were offering the Rockets. In other words, along with landry the kings will be getting Jeffries, Hughes, Hill, and as many as two future first round picks. Although Jeffries contract is a drawback, receving an expiring contact in Hughes, two young bigs in Landry and Hill and maybe 2 first round draft picks is quite a haul. Petrie might come out of this looking like a bandit.

If we are not getting at least another young big and 2 first round picks. I would to see the Kings keep T-Mac, let him play a few Kings game at let him go after the trade deadline.
That's gonna be spoiler to a lot of teams esp. NY.
Then Kings should play in the big FA market in off season.
With Reke already winning MVP for Rook/Sophomore game and probably bagging home the ROTY, he would get good attention from those big names like Chris Bosh and Amare. Plus we might be getting another quality big in this draft with the looks of our current standing.
And I don't think somebody has commented on this. But we are slowly molding this team with a core of young guys that plays defense and are tough as nails. Brockman, Reke, Casspi, Greene, Cisco, Noc, and now Dorsey and Landry!!!
What an overhaul, Geoff!!!!

Wow, big news. It will be interesting to see how Landry's defense is up close and personal over a long stretch of games. His rebounding is unimpressive, however. I'll be honest, he's not tall super-defender kind of big we would get in a Martin trade, but the value is pretty fair.
So, assuming we keep (or buy out T-mac), are we officially 22 million under the cap this off season? I doubt we land a true superstar (would be nice), but that's a lot of money we can spend plugging holes in our roster.
I guess that after this trade, my biggest concern going forward is that, of our most talented front court guys (Thompson, Hawes, Landry), none are big time defenders or shot blockers.
