    I think that's a strong trade for both teams, although it seems like they (OKC) gave up soon.

    Well, they weren't going to give into his salary demands so they got rid of him. Good for them.

    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.

    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.
