Wade, drafted by Miami, is a main reason why Jamesand Bosh joined the Heat. Gasol played a big role for the Lakers but Bryant (a draft day trade for LA) is still the main reason for their championships. Plus, Memphis got panned for giving away Gasol like they did. Celtics needed a top 5 draft pick plus multiple high lottery players to get Garnett and Allen. In other words, you still need to have high draft picks to get those special players. Drafting in the 10-20 range like we've been doing usually doesn't usually cut it.

If the rockets can land another big free agent in the next year or two, they'll compete for a championship. Asik is fine for now, but you know the rockets will chase after bigger fish, especially dwight. That's who morey's been eyeing all along.
wow, what a shocking trade! its gonna be an exciting season. at his peak, i can see harden being a paul pierce (in his prime) type of player and i got no problem with that. hopefully, he wont be like joe johnson with that new max contract he's gonna get.
When did he do it the first time? Serious question. Please try to give a serious answer, not "I want to be a G.M. one day myself!"
Love this trade. Mind you reading that article above it doesn't paint Harden in a good light after game 1 of the finals last year.

Excited about the change but picks wise it's basically all what we assembled to get a Dwight Howard, so it stings it's 'just' fofr a guy like Harden. Martin was a goner anyway but Lamb..I wish it would've been D-Mo or White! Lamb I think is going to be a good player, it's just going to take a few years but Leslie is impatient. Also Harden in our system and as a first option is not necessarily a good thing. I've never been too impressed with him as a player but a lot of people are high on him so let's see what he can do. At least Morey did something, finally
