Thanks, I am so happy to hear this. With pieces like Lin and Asik, fit is critical here. One ball stopper, selfish, or just dumb player can screw up an entire possession offensively or defensively when everyone else is on the same page.
Second round? The horror! Where did #1 pick Yao combined #9 pick McGrady take us? Where did #1 pick Yao combined #2 pick Steve Francis take us?
Would had been championships were not for injuries. McGrady and Yao are that good. Too bad we never had both of their services simultaneously often enough.

JVG is an unabashed James Harden fan. No doubt he thinks its a fantastic trade for the Rockets (has he disagreed with anything the Rockets have done since he got fired?).
IM happy we didnt give up T- jones.Lamb was dope his freshman year but he didnt do what he was suppose to his sophmore year.Ill take Hardin any day of the week.We still got the best rookie without a doubt.White and D-Mo are gonna be dope eventually.
Obviously he meant the rockets, but honestly, he wasn't looking to have a lengthy discussion. Me: So what did you think about the Harden trade? VG: I thought it was awesome. Me: Yeah....it was nice meeting you again.
Where, as a Rockets fan, I like the acquisition of Harden and Aldrich, the deal came at too high of a price. Daquan Cook might be usable, but Lazar Hayward is a complete waste. However, I wish we could have kept Lamb or at least the Toronto pick. Next year there are some really promising young centers that we could have drafted with our pick and/or the Toronto pick. Wait, one second thought, Morey generally is averse to using a draft pick on a freshman/sophomore player when he can draft a senior small PF tweener with serious anxieties or little upside.
Wow!!! I didn't see this until a few hours ago. I really like this move. Hopefully he will shine this year and we can finally get another max player big man to sign here next off-season.

okc fans are trying to convince themselves they won this trade... whats the golden rule?? the team that aquires the best player in the deal wins the trade always.. but it seems now that kmart is a great player and can do what harden does.. and all those first rounders.. lol only the toronto pick has potential to be a high lottery pick..
