Kevin Martin is sick, drops 48 tonight

The Sacramento Kings have some of the right pieces to be good, they just aren't. The West is tough nonetheless, but the Kings have a quality center, a great young SG, a great SF and some great role players--they probably need one small change, or one other player, and they can make it back to the playoffs.

If the Kings are bad, or not, it doesn't matter because Kevin Martin is great. Unless you play fantasy basketball, live in Sacramento or are a Kings fan, you might not even know of this guy. He's averaging 23 points per game this year, and spent nearly two months in a suit with a groin injury. He broke out last year going for 20 a game, he keeps getting better, and he's pretty consistent, to say the very least.

Martin dropped 48 points tonight on the Minnesota Timberwolves, even though the Kings lost to them 111-103. Win or lose, 48 points isn't too bad and that was a new career-high for the King's franchise guy, who also set a club record with 22 free-throws, nice work K-Mart, yeah, THE NEW K-MART.

Sorry to Kenyon Martin, but you're injuries have made you kind of whack, and you were overrated to begin with.

Mavs get Kidd a backup..

Tyronn Lue who was traded to Sacramento in the Bibby deal is going to join the Dallas Mavericks, after being waived by the Kings.

Lue will be the backup to Jason Kidd, only to improve the depth of one of the potential contenders in the West.

Honestly, I haven't seen much of Lue or the Hawks this year, I had no idea he shaved his head and ditched the cornrows. Though Lue is a solid player and a very reliable backup, who can play some defense, something Dallas needs.
