Dwyer: Martin's injury means the Kings need to make deals
Kevin Martin's injury means the Kings need to make deals
Quote:
Mike Bibby should be sent away for relative pennies on the dollar. If that means Jason Williams’ expiring contract, lower-rung draft picks and parts, so be it. In the heat of February, certain teams could find themselves thinking Brad Miller is the answer, and it’s not as hard to pile up $10.5 million worth of deals to take Miller off Sacramento’s hands as it is to, say, trade for someone making max-money.
Mikki Moore is a base-year compensation player (even with a relatively small salary that starts at $5.36 million a season, his cap figure is worth half that amount in a trade), but he could fetch a solid prospect still working off his rookie contract once he’s able to be dealt in 10 days. Kenny Thomas isn’t going anywhere, but he could be packaged with someone like John Salmons and sent to a team (Boston perhaps, in what would have to be a three-team deal) desperate to accrue depth whilst not acting as desperate to avoid the luxury tax.
Ron Artest? The man’s having a brilliant season; he’s using up more possessions than last year but performing at a far more efficient rate. The 28-year old, in his prime, should be a hot commodity amongst a GM set not known for its long memories. Take advantage.

Re: Dwyer: Martin's injury means the Kings need to make deals
Wouldn't Salmons be a starter again, as long as Martin is out?

Either Salmons or Garcia.

Re: Dwyer: Martin's injury means the Kings need to make deals
What are the chances that Artest is getting traded ? I mean so far he is acting like a role model and playing really well, but once the Kings are starting to fall apart I don't think he will either be satisfied or use his player option for the upcoming season.

From the stuff that is said and written in Sacramento, it is almost a given that he will be moved.
Hopefully Artest will raise his game even more with Martin out, and up his trade value.
