I say do it Kevin Martin and the other guy for Ray Allen would be a great fit. Not only do you get a great shooter in Martin but also youth. Please Celtics make this trade. No disrepect to Allen he still has about 3 or 4 more years but the chance to make your team a little younger, why not.

no disrespect to kmart and noccioni, but if boston thinks trading for them will put them over the top they are out of there minds.

they have much bigger problems, starting with kg’s knee. dude hasnt been right since he went down mid season last year. and don’t get me started on sheed. that dude is like a 7 foot child. stfu and ball.

I agree with leetee-

It would be stupid for the celtics to trade ray allen-and mess up the big 3 trio…their chemistry is amazing and theyve just had a bad season…it happens to the best of em…they can bring it back next year, but not without ray…pp, allen, KG, and imma throw rondo in that mix are a beast when they really working together. Its not gun be good if boston trades Ray.

The Kings do not have a cap problem in the first place, are patiently rebuilding and don’t necessarily need to jump into the FA market because as a small market team they can’t always best value there. Aaron Phillips, wishful thinking! Any trade for Martin would only be one that brings them a quality young post scorer, probably around 20 ppg now, not a prospect. Sacramento is in value-for-value mode, not salary dumping mode.

@ Spliff 2 My Lou

Martin is “only” making 10 mil this year and 11 next. 12 the two years after that. I doubt thats even top 40-50 salary in the nba. pretty good “bargin” for a guy who just turned 27, and is a capable 25ppg scorer. and thats why kings wont trade him…he is a cornerstone, and petrie and westphal will hammer the square peg into a round hole until it fits. (reke + mr. effecient in the backcourt)

explain this to me please (anyone):

WHY DOES A 2nd CLASS/2nd TIER TEAM/CITY LIKE SACRAMENTO NEED CAP FLEXIBILITY?!!?

NO player wants to sign there as a FA. so why do they need salary cap money to be flexible? whats the point?!!?

Teams and cities with specialties to offer beyond basketball can attract FAs. Not bum ass teams/cities like Sacramento.

SO WHAT IF THERY’RE $25mil UNDER THE CAP?!!?
…what are they gonna do with that money? OVERSPEND for 2nd tier talent?!!?

NO. there is NO good reason for Sacto to trade Kevin Martin for Ray Allen. NONE.
