The Rockets have landed James Harden!

Holy ****!!!!

 

I am not sure this is the right move. Harden played only one good season in a solid team and that is not enough for a max contract.

 

Morey had a little Lamb...

 

I don't think Harden is max player, but giving up only KMart and Lamb plus draft picks, should be pretty cool.

I expect Morey is expecting Harden will be THAT star who will make other stars want to come play in HOU.

So Harden is SG? I only care that Parsons retains his starting spot LOL

 

@WojYahooNBA: Houston also sends a 2013 second-round pick (via Charlotte) to Thunder.

 

Yeah i like Jermey Lamb, but i think Harden is better for our team right now I guess. I just didn't like how he disappeared for part of the NBA play-offs, and NBA Finals. I think James Harden could have a Joe Johnson type basketball career in a starting lineup.

 

"Harden will be sent to Houston for Kevin Martin, rookie Jeremy Lamb, two first-round picks and a second-round pick. The Thunder is also sending center Cole Aldrich and guards Daequan Cook and Lazar Hayward to the Rockets."

Per http://blog.newsok.com/thunderrumblings/2012/10/27/james-harden-traded-to-houston/

 

We have our star/draftee in Terrence Jones

 

So...Kyle Lowry, Jeremy Lamb(Sam Dalembert), Courtney Lee, Derek Fisher(Jordan Hill) for Harden?

 

probably my biggest concern is that he always played against second units and not starters. We'll all have to wait and see if he can sustain and improve his play. Now it's a question of how much he will command...

 

Full Trade is:

Rockets Receive:
Harden, Hawyard, Cook, and Aldrich

Thunder Receive:
Martin, Lamb, Toronto 1st Rounder, Dallas 1st Rounder, and Charlotte 2nd Rounder

 

The thing that excited me the most is that we get to watch this team play in less than a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I don't know. Not as big on The Beard as some here are. It's an all star at least, I suppose....

 

This.is.EPIC.

I predicted that Chandler will grow a beard a la Harden this year. Turned out I was a little off

Good thing J. Lamb has been playing like a J. Lame in the pre-season, make it easier for me to not miss him. And Toronto has been playing well, making the draft pick less difficult to give up.

No more tanking talk please. TTVM.

 

We gave up a lot of picks.

Hopefully Harden will be worth that max contract he's about to get.

 

I knew Kmart was gone but not this early and not for a package that would land us Harden. I really hate to loose Lamb but you gotta go with the proven talent.

 

so we basically gave up martin, lowry, courtney lee, dalembert, and 2 of our own 1st round picks?

 

The big one is the Toronto first pick which was a guaranteed lottery pick. Harden for Martin and Lamb I think its fair. But knowing Morey, we had to get rid of Martin in February anyway, this trade makes sense, but I just hope Toronto pick doesn't hurt us bad in the future.

 

i mean, i like this but not using our picks and lamb

 

Harden is going to be even better with the Rockets..he doesn't have to share the ball with Durant..and ball hog Westbrook..How does this rank in Morey trades?..I say #1!!
