Ummm

Should the Kings use the fourth pick to draft a shooting guard to replace Martin (like Arizona State’s James Harden, Memphis’ Tyreke Evans, or USC’s DeMar DeRozan), they could use a young power forward to pair with him. And although Sacramento drafted Jason Thompson with the 12th pick last year, the Cavs can offer J.J. Hickson as a power forward should the Kings move the 6’11", 250-pound Thompson to center.

Ummm, the Kings also have Spencer Hawes. I guess white guys don’t count anymore.

Short, but to keep it sweet, you can’t have Kevin Martin. Nothing, nobody, is worth half of Martin. So, NO-NO-NO-NO-for eternity no, are you going to get Kevin Martin.

Oh, and the Artest/Bibby are good deals in that the team was stuck between a non playoff team and a playoff team. It was time to rebuild.

I repeat, you are not getting Kevin Martin. It’s a pipe dream, and a very bad one. (Mo Williams is not worth half of Kevin Martin either. Hurt.) And Boobie isn’t worth anything to the Kings anyway with Beno Udrih.

In short, you couldn’t have picked a worst tradng partner for the Kings with regards to Kevin Martin, than the Cavs.
