Report: Kings set to deal Martin to HoustonBasketball Betting Lines02/18/2010 - Sacramento, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Sacramento Kings and Houston Rockets have reportedly agreed in principle on a blockbuster deal that will ultimately have guard Kevin Martin wearing a Houston uniform. According to the Sacramento Bee, the complicated deal could eventually include the New York Knicks, who are looking to acquire Tracy McGrady from the Rockets. If no deal can be reached with New York, it looks as though the Kings and Rockets will go ahead with their two-team swap. In the trade, which includes seven players, the Kings would receive McGrady in addition to forwards Carl Landry and Joey Dorsey, while Houston would get Martin, center Hilton Armstrong, forward Kenny Thomas and guard Sergio Rodriguez. Martin was pulled from Wednesday's game against Golden State in anticipation of the trade. The report states that Kings coach Paul Westphal informed Martin of the impending deal. The 27-year-old Martin has spent his entire career with Sacramento but was made expendable with the emergence of rookie Tyreke Evans. Martin suffered an injury early in the season that caused him to miss a significant amount of time, and he has averaged 19.8 points in 22 contests in 2009-10. McGrady is coveted for his enormous expiring deal, which could help a club knock significant dollars off the payroll at the end of the season. With several major free agents-to-be looming in the summer of 2010, teams like the Knicks are looking to shed as much salary as possible. In his sixth season with Houston, McGrady has appeared in just six games in 2009-10 after undergoing microfracture surgery last year on his knee and has scored 19 points. Landry, 26, has been a solid bench player for the Rockets the last three seasons and is averaging 16.1 points per game in 52 contests. Dorsey has played sparingly in his rookie season and averages 1.6 points in 7.7 minutes. Rodriguez plays 13 minutes a game for the Kings and averages six points, while Armstrong has put up 2.5 points and 3.1 rebounds per game in 24 contests with the Kings and Hornets. Thomas, whose contract expires after the season, has averaged 1.6 points in 26 games.

Work left to do: Villanova, Syracuse, DePaul, West Virginia, Providence Work left to do: Villanova [18-9 (7-7), RPI: 21, SOS: 5] Pounded Rutgers to get back to .500. If Cats can get their last two (at UConn, vs. Syracuse), that should be enough with strong computer numbers and a host of wins away from The Pavilion. The Cats have beaten Texas and swept the Big 5 (never easy in Philly), but have a couple of losses to bubble teams (Xavier, Drexel), too. I still think they'll be OK, possibly even at 8-8. Syracuse [20-8 (9-5), RPI: 53, SOS: 62] History says 10 wins will be plenty, but it might be hard for the Orange to get that last one with a final two vs. G'town, which is trying to win the league title, and at Villanova, which will be desperate for a W. The relative lack of nonconference heft and the weak computer numbers are still concerns, but the Orange have won four in a row and got a very, very big win at Providence on Saturday. DePaul [16-12 (8-7), RPI: 54, SOS: 18] Beat Cincy and should get past South Florida to get to 9-7, but then what? They have beaten Kansas and Cal (right after the DeVon Hardin injury) earlier this season, but also have lost to Bradley and Purdue, among others. They'll likely need a couple of BE tourney wins, too, but we'll see ... West Virginia [19-7 (8-6), RPI: 58, SOS: 125] The game at Pitt on Tuesday night could decide the Mountaineers' fate (barring a deep tournament run). They can still get to 9-7 in the Big East without it by beating Cincinnati, but the nine wins would be against UConn, Villanova, St. John's, South Florida, DePaul, Rutgers, Seton Hall twice and the Bearcats. Beating bubble foes is fine, but where's the beef? Outside of beating PG-less UCLA in nonconference play (still a top quality win), there's not a lot to fall back on (besides maybe NC State). WVU vs. Syracuse would be an interesting debate, as the teams don't play in the Big East regular season. WVU has the best win, but Cuse has played the much better schedule. Providence [17-10 (7-7), RPI: 70, SOS: 33] The Friars likely saw their at-large hopes die at home in the four-point loss to Syracuse, barring an unexpected run to the Big East semis or more. The RPI, bad already, won't be helped by playing St. John's and South Florida in the final two league games.
