    Maybe we already have the 2nd star, if one of the rookie PFs steps up.

    any of you guys think k-mart's strong pre season had anything to do with this trade? maybe it told okc that he still has alot left in the tank?

    I dont think he is a legit num 1 go to guy. That a lot to give away for a 2nd option.

    It does make us a better team though. I just think we gave away too much.

    Really? The Toronto pick will be good, but it's top-3 protected. I believe the Mav's pick is top-20 protected. Lamb will be about like JJ Reddick, and Martin is done with this team.

    I'm not sure what you think 23-year-old All-Stars usually cost to acquire, but I can assure you we did not overpay. We got a bargain.

    sorry, that's ridiculous. i would suggest you educate yourself a bit. your sitting on the bench argument is ludicrous as well.

    one of many examples, coach nick explains how valuable harden is:

    he's only 23...

    this team is full of potential. we may not have a superb upcoming season, but in the near future we'll be a force to deal with. Our team is starting to form an identity, and i'm liking morey's vision.

    Wow Morey finally pulled one out. Love the move, Harden is the real deal.

    lets see how the rockets do this year. they might end up having 5 allstars by the end of the year(lin, harden, parsons, jones and asik)
    assuming asik get like 15 rebound a game.

    If we wanted to we could've probably gotten Ibaka too. Morey could've found a way. Hell, he got Harden right?:)

    I couldn't care less about the draft picks. Hopefully we get that man to sign an extension with the rockets. Number one goal of this season in my opinion.

    If K-Mart stays healthy and thats a big if, OKC will have made out like bandits IMO. Those big shot blockers OKC has can cover up a lot of Martins defensive deficiencys and he's complete terror on the offensive end. Key is can Martin stay healthy.
