Damn. What's Hughes' contract look like? I would have rather kept McGrady's expiring and played the FA market.
Well we kept K9. Well have plenty of money.
I still feel like were not done today..

Rockets can actually swap first round picks with the knicks in 2011 or take their 2012 pick
I don't get it. How does that help us out? Wouldn't we just be better off letting McGrady expire as he is a larger expiring than Hughes?
It basically gets us Landry... a player that we can actually use.
And the Maloofs get to free up Martin's long term $. That along with our other expirings is enough money for a big name in the off season if they choose to spend the money.
I meant the second part of the trade, sending TMac to NYK.

One more add to three-way trade: Houston is also taking on Hilton Armstrong to make the salary-cap math work, sources say
man this server sucks!
HO SO????? Explain to me how getting tougher AND richer is 'being done'!! Isnt that what we wanted/needed?!?!Man Houston really killed everyone else in this trade. Looks like we're done too.![]()
Wait what?!...
Thats all we got from New York? WTF Petrie!!!!!
Really dont like the trade at all.Here's a list of what will come off the books, either now, by trade or at the end of the season.
K. Thomas: $8,801,198.00
Armstrong: $2,801,198.00
Sergio: $1,892,035.00
Hughes: $13,655,268.00
May: $825,497.00
Udoka: $902,693.00
That adds up to a grand total of $28,851,691.00. Thats not chump change. So we ended up trading Martin for Landry, who is a very good player and Dorsey who possibly has potential and a ton of cap space. Houston ended up gaining a first round pick in 2012. Big deal! If New York is sucessful in what they want to do, that pick could be down around 24 or 25. Plus they had to take Jefferies salary. I'd rather have the cap space this offseason than a pick in 2012 for some unknown player picking from an unkown spot.
This is a very good trade for the Kings. Not to mention that the roster is more balanced now. Yeah, I know Hughes is a SG, but his stay in Sac will be a short one.
We didn't want Jeffries gross contract (rightly so, with Noce and Beno on board).Can someone please explain to me why we didn't even get a pick out of this?
