Could The C's Really Acquire Kevin Martin?

[rondohondo]

I have been reading that the Kings might be looking to move Kevin Martin because Tyreke Evans is not a PG , but a SG. They are in desperate need of salary relief because they aren't bringing any fans to the game . 

So here is a deal that would make sense for both sides....


Bos Sends: Ray, BBD , Giddens and/or Walker , 1st round pick

Sac Sends: Kevin Martin, Nocioni

For Boston: They get an elite offensive player who can step in for Ray and extend the title chances for many years to come. Nocioni is a nice piece off the bench and could help cut down KG and PP's mins.


For Sacramento: They get the cap relief they are looking for . This trade saves them about 50 Mil over the next 3 years and it also clears cap space for the 2010 season.  They would be at about 26 MIL on their roster so they would have about 24 MIL n cap space, so they could add one max contract and another solid piece for about 10 mil .


What do you guys think? is this a real possibility ?

of course this has to wait til the second half of the season when Martin is back from injury

[RebusRankin]

I'd do that deal once Martin is back.

I think it's a possibility only if the other 28 teams in the league decide not to make an offer to Sacramento for Martin.

I don't see how Sacramento trades Martin for salary relief, BBD, and a pick at the end of the first round. He's worth much more than that.

Yeah, that's the thing.  Even if Sacramento would take an offer like that for Kevin Martin, I'm sure there are several teams that could offer equal cap relief and better young players.

Yea its probably true. I wonder if they would do it if we offered Perk? I think they would since they were willing to take on Dalembert's contract. We would have to get a third team involved to get a legit center who can step in and play for the C's...

Think back a couple of years ago do you think you might have been saying:

"I don't see how Memphis trades Gasol for salary relief, the rights to his brother Marc and a pick at the end of the first round. He's worth much more than that."
 
At the very least our salary relief is one of the greatest outside shooters in NBA history and an All-Star two years ago and not Kwame Brown, Javaris Crittendon and Aaron McKie.

[PosImpos]

My only concerns regarding Kevin Martin would be the fact that he's pretty prone to injury and also isn't known for playing great defense.

That said he's one of the best scorers in the game at the moment and should have more than a few years left in his career so if the Kings would actually go for this trade I'd pull the trigger in a heartbeat.

Just remember, Wallace is still in Memphis.

Yea, i'm just glad that this many posts in that nobody has said that Kmart isn't a great shooter. This trade is ideal, and it is a possibility. A trade like this would deserve a few draft picks. And I would even take on Beno's contract if we had to...

Noc,Kmart and Beno for Ray, BBD, (Giddens,Walker or Hudson),2 unprotected first rounders and a protected 2nd rounder.

We get young PG, SG and great backup for SF/PF. We lose an aged allstar and a limited PF. This trade should be done in a heartbeat.
And if it took throwing in Perk I would b/c Sheldon has a similar game, and we can always get another C like that(Brendon Haywood Free agent next year)

[indeedproceed]

Pretty unlikely we trade for Kmart.

[Bahku]

Yup ... I agree, IP ... this would be a real stretch, to say the least.

I thought Kenyon Martin was Kmart.
Are people really calling Kevin Martin Kmart as well?

BTW, I love the trade idea, but don't see Sacramento biting.
