Ken Berger: Rockets offered Martin for Gortat

via Magic getting Arenas, Turkoglu in blockbuster – CBSSports.com:

The Rockets tried to get into the mix for Gortat, whom theyve coveted for several years, by offering Kevin Martin to the Magic, but “couldnt get it done,” according to one of the sources.

This is pretty interesting.  It’s not shocking that the team pursued Gortat, but at the expense of Kevin Martin…?  I would have thought K-Mart would have been available only for a monster deal.  While filling a need, this would be practically giving him away…

I’m now more interested than ever about the organization’s plans.  Was Kevin Martin only a part of “The Yao Plan”?

UPDATE:

Source correcting me: #Rockets didn't offer Kevin Martin for Gortat. They specifically wouldn't offer him.
