I actually think that is good for both the Wolves and the Kings. Wolves become contenders with Kevin Martin and Al Jefferson. You just need Corey Brewer or some other guy for them to become an excellent perimeter defender and they are ready to go. For the Kings, they get the marketable Rubio, a playmaker in Westphal's offense. Rubio shows he can hustle and Evans moves back to his natural position at the 2 to play and trade Jason Thompson if Derrick Favors is on the board for them in the lottery. All this can only work, however, if Rubio actually wants to join the NBA.
You mean- Sacramento is 3-0 with Beno starting.![]()
No, they don't.
And Ricky Rubio sucks. I'm befuddled as to why everyone acts like he's a surefire all star if he makes the NBA.
This deal would have to be done in the offseason with the Wolves getting another top 7 pick. They could very well be contenders and they also have cap space in 2010.
That's different than what you originally said.
Either way, no way the Kings trade Kevin Martin now. He is injured. Do you even think it is feasible? Rubio has not even been signed to a contract yet. It is either the Kings trade for Rubio's rights in the offseason after seeing that Evans can't play point guard or 2 years later when he officially signs with the Wolves.
The Kings could have had Rubio and didn't. They know he sucks.
Isn't John Thompson a little too old to be playing pro basketball?..
Anyways, this won't last..Kings have a bunch of good role players, no star..they'll have to pick up a good lottery spot for next year's draft and hope to pick up a star..
Kevin Martin has been overrated for years, he's a 1-trick player, and his style of basketball hurts the game..
Kevin Martin's line against the Spurs: 29 pts, 0 rbds, 0 assts.
'Nuff said.
True.
The guy is a really good shooter and that's about it.
However I think this streak has more to do with westphal finally getting his head out of his ass and starting his best players.
the kings gonna beat the rockets tonight!
They just know Tyreke Evans is better and that does not even mean that Rubio sucks. Rubio's contract situation also prevented teams with less than enough patience to wait for his ass to get into the NBA.
Edit: Evans, Thompson and Udrih lead the Kings to a 5-4 record.
I heard both Rockets and Kings fans are please with the idea of trading Tmac for KM.
I agree. I followed Thompson last year and he's now really growing into his game. Evans was tentative when Martin was around, but now that he's the man he's showing just how good he is.
Regarding Martin, is it just me or does he come off as a sulky biatch half the time? I'd trade him to let Evans grow since Evans is a far more complete player (and I don't think Martin would take being a 2nd banana), although I'm not sure who I'd target for that trade.
As for Hawes, I'm not convinced. He shows flashes of excellence, but seems far too easily rattled and very much a confidence player.
Kings fans are crazy then.
McGrady is a ball-dominator, shoots a poor %, and would stiffle Evans' development, not to mention his age and injury history.
They should be able to get a very good player with less risk than T-Mac for Martin.
no kings fan wants mcbaby.... and next up on the list... CHICAGO BULLS!
