    I guess Rockets are in win now mode. I don't know if Harden is worth 15 mil per year. I wasn't real impressed with his performance in the finals. Should be interesting, don't really know if he is an upgrade over Martin in the short term. If we gave up the Toronto Pick, that would sting.

    Finally, we were able to get predatory. Thank you, new CBA and stiffer 2013 luxury tax penalties.

    after weeks of building chemistry (or trying to), here we have to rebuild it again.

    I don't think JLamb and KMart would complain too much that they are being sent to championship contender OKC, would they?

    Good trade. Have to give to get. We got the best piece of the deal and that makes Morey the winner.

    I forget the protection on the Dallas pick...we do know that Dallas is going to suck soon right? :(

    Wish we could have kept that. Lamb is good guys I still think he's going to be the best SG in that draft, but he may never be as good as Harden.

    Rockets must think highly of Harden, they gave up pretty much all their picks.

    I think they throw the Max at him, don't want to lose him after giving up young talent and picks.

    Hope we don't regret shipping Lamb. Congrats to KMart on his ring.
