Oklahoma City has traded James Harden to the Houston Rockets, league sources tell Y! Sports.
 
Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
The Rockets send Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb and future draft considerations to the Thunder for Harden, sources tell Y! Sports.
 
I think that's a strong trade for both teams, although it seems like they (OKC) gave up soon.
 
Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
Along with All-Star guard James Harden, the Thunder will send Cole Aldridge, Lazr Hayward and Daquan Cook to the Rockets, source tells Y!
 
How awesome is that one guys first name?

Lazer?
 
Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA
As part of deal, Thunder will receive "significant" future draft picks from Houston, source tells Y! Sports.
 
I don't care how many draft picks. The Thunder threw in the towel, they were on the brink of a championship with those big three! HAHA!

Jeremy Lamb practicing with Durant is scary though.
 
Getting Martin, if he can stay healthy, isn't too bad.
 
Wonder how much it would have cost to get him here? Probably more since we're in the same division.

Lillard + Wessy + Leonard probably. but they already have a PG...so maybe we could have done it without Lillard and flubbed it around a bit.

Houston sends two 2013 first-round picks (from Dallas and Toronto) to Oklahoma CIty, source tells Y!
 
Holy shit! Presti don't mess around!

Boy, it's going to be funny if Harden walks. Houston must've got his approval to sign first... mustn't they?
 
Interesting. Neither Lamb nor Martin is much like Harden at all. Harden needs the ball in his hands and creates. He's a Brandon Roy type. The other two are strictly SGs: they run off screens and just shoot. Harden is a lot more versatile. OKC got weaker. (And put a dent in their we're all in this together image.) First "strictly business" move they've made (Jeff Green didn't count, because they needed a C).
 
I like Houston, now. They should be fun! They should also be better than us now.

really?

They have 2 decent players, and a bunch of scrubs. And one of those decent players (Lin) might not be the player Houston thinks he is.

Houston plans to give James Harden a four year, $60 million extension once deal is completed, league sources tell Y! Sports.

Omer Asik is a very good player. Check his numbers in pre-season. He's gonna be in the running for DPOY for years.
Terrence Jones has looked good. Motiejunas could surprise. Royce White oozes talent. And Chandler Parsons is going to explode this year, mark my words. They are NOT "a bunch of scrubs".
 
Wow, Morey has redeemed himself pretty successfully after all the shit he got for stockpiling picks and failing to get Howard.

Although, some people are still acting like Asik was a bad signing. Down the road he'll look better than Lin. (Who won't look bad, no matter what dipshits like Kenny Smith say.)

Has he agreed to that? He could still test the waters.
 
I wouldn't pay Harden, either. Neither team gets better, IMO. Houston will be saddled with Harden, and OKC already has a PG. I suppose their future picks are nice, but they're a win now team. I love this trade for us.

OKC could potentially use martin's huge expiring to get better at the trade deadline. that option might be part of the plan.

Has his role changed dramatically since last season? No. Was he, like all star players, probably coasting in preseason? Yes. So what's the point?

Asik suddenly got expanded minutes, so it's worth seeing what he could do with them. Rebound like a motherfucker, is what.
