I have always thought that we should have never ever traded martin.....But we have to move on.....I think we should trade the immature cousins to houston for jordan hill, chase budinger, and two trade exceptions that the rockets own worth a total of 13 million....we could use this exception to trade for a star...and in jordan hill we would be getting a big man that has played better as he gets more playing time and budinger who with more playing time could light it up and is very athletic

Yes, let's trade Cousins! This no good, immature, will-never-grow-up, cancer of a rookie, who single handidly is trying to bring down the organization! Sign me up.



I can't believe how utterly stupid these threads are getting.

Just wanted to come in here and say that I love Buddinger but lol at the rest. I also don't see where all the Kmart love is coming from. Sure he was a point scoring machine but he was never clutch and was oft injured Id really say no matter what we've seen from Landry this yr that the trade was dead even talent wise.

To give up our talented young minded rook for what looks to be realistically nothing more than Landry with a couple more inches and half the work ethic is laughable. On the flip side I'm almost positive a pick Dalembert and either Greene or Casspi gets you Budinger who does have a lot of potential.

So, we're supposed to trade Cousins for nothing in the hope that we can turn around and flip that nothing for a superstar? I see.

Borderline All star for borderline 6th man is not even talent.

I fail to see how it would take Dalembert, Casspi/Greene and a pick for Budinger. That would be highway robbery at The Kings' expense. I mean really, how is Budinger any better than Casspi or Greene? As far as I can see, The Rockets don't have anyone on their roster worth giving up Dalembert, Casspi/Greene and a pick for, least of all Budinger.

Yes the pick is a bit much but from what I've seen offensively Bundinger is way more consistent than both Omri and Donte combined. He's alotr more atheltic than his looks and has tons of range. Also its not highway robbery for the Kings expense because I feel any deal we do to get anything of use will involve Dalembert. Lastly you'd have to toss in either or Casspi or Greene because all 3 play the same spot. The pick? Too much but the other pieces? Just right.

Ehh I wouldn't call Kmart a borderline all star, great scorer and free throw shooter but at the time of exit last year was nothing more than that. There are atleast 5 western SGs with a better game than his, while at the time of the Landry deal last year he was running away with the 6th man of fthe year award.

I wonder how much of that has to do with the fact that he's not on the Kings, lol.

Haha I wonder that myself I bet if they all were to switch teams Id flip my argument with the quickness. But to Dontes credit in my eyes he seems to be settling into doing what he will be doing, while I think Omri shows flashes of going every which way talent wise. For what its worth I finally see why a lot of people think Omri will get the most out of his talent and Donte will be just fine playing a role out there.

Could the fact that he is playing in a real system have anything to do with that?

Eh could have some to do with it,but I do see both missing a lot of wide open jumpers. I don't think a system would make either one a better consistent shot maker.

I'm not down for trading either one of them btw and if we are gonna do any more bizz with the Rockets we need to find a way to get Scola involved.

Yes, he misses a lot of jumpers. So does Ray Allen. Nobody shoots 90% from 3pt land. Casspi's 3pt percentage is close to 40%, which is pretty damn good, and even more impressive when you take into account our non-system, and the fact that he gets jerked around by PW like it's nobody's business. Shooters rely on confidence, and the last thing Westphal is giving Omri is the ability to shoot with confidence knowing he won't get yanked if he misses a couple of shots. Second-year players who get jerked around like this will normally produce in the mid-twenties percentage from distance.

Whereas the Impressively Consistent Chase Budinger is shooting .256 from three this year on 6.5 attempts per 36 minutes. That is consistently craptastic. For reference, the Inconsistent Donte Greene is shooting .309 on 5.1 attempts per 36 (not great, sure) and the Inconsistent Omri Casspi is shooting .389 on 6.2 per 36. For another point of reference, the Dismal Jump Shooter Tyreke Evans is shooting .265 from three this year.

But hey, at least Budinger's terrible basketball is consistently terrible.
