Looks like there's a deal out there: T-Mac for Kevin Martin (more or less). It's actually Tracy McGrady for Kevin Martin, Sergio Rodriguez, Hilton Armstrong, Kenny Thomas. TMac is basically a lazy bum with back problems and Kevin Martin can't pass for beans. This deal IMO only helps Houston as Martin's scoring touch and quick speed could help any team. McGrady is good if he's healthy and in shape, but in recent years he's a old round man (round is a shape), and is probably suited to be a third option on a championship team. Martin at least has a little more upside at this stage of his career, so I say basically hands down, Houston wins it. Makes little to no sense for the Kings to make the deal when they're not on the verge of being a top contender.
