The Rockets acquired guard Kevin Martin in addition to Shane Battier, Jordan Hill, Chase Buddinger, making Ariza, and his contract, unnecessary. Trading him should help them to dump salary and avoid paying a substantial luxury-tax bill this season. They also received a $6 million trade exception in the deal.
