If the Rockets were to acquire Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Martin would likely be included in the package that would be sent to Denver.

Houston GM Daryl Morey dismissed the notion that the team is looking to deal Martin.

"We talked in general about the future," Morey said. "For sure, we're certainly not looking to trade anybody on the team right now.

"We feel like we have a very good team, and we're very excited about it. It's just the reality of my job that when any top player becomes available, I have to look at it. But ? I really worry that players take something negative from that. I would like to avoid that."

"If Houston wants Carmelo that bad," Martin said, "on Halloween, if I'm still here, I'll dress up as Carmelo."
