    the saddest part about the whole trade is losing Lamb and watch him grow on another team.

    It should've been Royce White

    I was really high on him as well, but don't know if he will be able to blow up as a 3rd string guard while Durant and WB command the ball on offense. Here's hoping he gets some pt and becomes really good a few years down the line.

    Which is why it wasn't... nobody wants Royce.

    Gotta give something to get something.

    During pre-season he looked scared and out of his element


    also his family moving with him to Houston was a little strange... like a grown man can't live in a new city by himself?


    dunno if he will ever have the killer mentality that stars have

    Between Martin and Sefolosha, doubt he gets much playtime this season.

    Yeah I really doubt he'll get playing time in OKC, whose in contention to win the whole damn thing.

    Him and Perry Jones III are D-League bound.

    Exactly. Presti is the last GM in the NBA who would draft a guy like Royce and no team would give a bag of peanuts for him now.

    No, Perry Jones III is KD's backup in place of Cook, which is why he was expendable. He wasn't exactly a happy camper as PJ3 became a training camp and pre-season sensation who generated lot's of hype.

    I'm sad that we lost Lamb. At least he's in a good team that's easy to root for now. Would hate to see him play for a team like the Lakers, Mavs, or Heat.

    Martin is better than Sefolosha in terms of offense

    Now this is just ridiculous. He's only 20. First time in the NBA.

    how many 20 year old NBA players have their parents move down the street from them?

    Derrick Rose still lives with a long-time family friend. Well, maybe not any more since he and his girlfriend just had a baby, but he did for a long time.

    It's to help keep an eye on them and keep their heads straight. Lots of temptation out there.

    The risk we had to take in order to get that potential Top 15 player and attract others
