    @WojYahooNBA: Houston hasn't been allowed to start negotiating a deal yet with Harden's agent, Rob Pelinka, but will do so once paperwork is complete.

    Yeah, they might make the 7th or 8th seed... but this team is YOUNG.

    Harden is the biggest acquisition at the time of the move of Morey's career.

    Can't argue with this trade. Gotta overpay/gamble in these situations; though could have sent 1-2 of our extraneous PFs w/ Martin and Lamb instead of Toronto pick. mere quibbles though. Lin/Harden backcourt - awesome. Plus back-up center in Cole.

    The only downside to this trade is that we couldn't pick up a PF in the swap.

    @WojYahooNBA: The Rockets have been determined to trade for an All-Star player, have him in Harden now, and he'll have a max deal by Wednesday's deadline.

    As a 22 year old he averaged about 17ppg, 4rbg, 4apg while shooting about 49% FG and 85% FT with about 10 FT attempts per game. Thats pretty damn good for a guy who has not even reached his potential yet.

    I agree with you. This is what tankers like you will harp on from now on. Some people can never live in the moment without finding something to be unsatisfied about again.

    Just a few months ago we were worried we might not have a representative at the All Star Game when it comes to town in February. Now, we may have 2 players with a shot at making it.

    I think if we included Patterson and maybe White we could've gotten Ibaka. Seems like we overpaid a bit and Presti isn't a greedy person.
