Kings trade Martin, 3 others to Houston
OAKLAND – When Kevin Martin didn't play in the second half of Wednesday night's game against Golden State, it appeared to be the continuation of a bizarre set of circumstances surrounding the team's longest-tenured player.
As it turned out, it was the end of his Kings career.
The Kings shooting guard was told at halftime that he likely is headed to Houston, with coach Paul Westphal relaying word from team basketball president Geoff Petrie that there was an agreement in principle. The trade, sources say, also involves Rockets small forward Tracy McGrady, although it is unclear whether he will make it to Sacramento or perhaps be moved again to New York.
The Kings reportedly will receive forwards Carl Landry and Joey Dorsey, while the Rockets will receive Kings forward Kenny Thomas, big man Hilton Armstrong and guard Sergio Rodríguez. The NBA's trade deadline is noon PST today. Petrie could not be reached for comment.
"It's a sad day for me in a sense that Sac was the first team that took a chance for me," Martin said from the team bus.
