Martin and Brooks is way too small of backcourt to compete in the NBA. Martin is an oft injured non-defensive player who just puts up stats, would not want him.

Martin is one of the tallest sgs in the league.

Yeah, but he's really skinny, so he's still "small" even though he's tall. Combined, he and Brooks don't even weigh 350.
 
Slim Thug (Houston rapper) hates the deal

Thats fucked up RT @derekt529: @slimthugga but how u feel bout losin landry with the deal?
 
Well done by SAC. They trade an expensive, extraneous, one-trick SG for Carl Landry, Cap relief, picks and the right to extort Jordan Hill and more picks from the knicks.
 
Maybe his body is just like Durant's or Rudy's, where he can't put on any weight/strength. Either way, it's not like he's soft. Dude averaged over 10 FTAs per game last season.

No because if his body was like Durants, he would play almost every game, every season.
 
Landry has family in the Bay Area (a coworker of mine is his first cousin) so on a personal level he might like it. But I'm surprised, he was considered a leading candidate for 6th man of the year.

This is supposedly the deal:

Am I the only one who thinks the Kings should have stuck with this version of the deal, instead of getting the Knicks involved? The new version leaves them without McGrady's huge expiring contract....and what do they get in return?

i doubt the kings really had an option on which deal to stick with. owning tmac's expiring contract really was meaningless for the kings. instead of that, they have larry hughes' expiring contract and hold onto kenny thomas' expiring contract rather than dealing it away.

this is an even better deal for the rockets getting martin, hill, option to swap picks next year, and the knicks 2012 pick for basically just carl landry.
 
Knicks are the big winners here with Sergio and likely LeBron next year.

Kings get a monster in Landry and rid themselves of Martin, who was a fifth wheel dragging them down.

Houston got nothing of real long-term value, and without Yao will now be 90lb weaklings.

"Likely" :lol:

I tend to agree with the sentiment that Lebron will "likely" stay in Cleveland, and that Wade will "likely" join Derrick Rose in Chicago. The best player that the Knicks have a decent shot at (IMO) is Bosh. After that, they're probably going to have to settle for a second-tier star for their second "big" free-agent signing, unless they somehow get Dirk to come up there too.

Hmm...wouldn't that be interesting?
