Hard to decide whether this trade was better than the one acquiring Dwight Over-joyed. Lin Harden Parsons Smith Howard. WTFFFFFF - 2014 WCF, 2015 Champions.
The Northeast cities are also more drivable and closer together. Heck, the Knicks take the Amtrack train for games in Philly from Penn Station under Madison Square Garden instead of flying or driving. And the Knicks and Nets are even in the same city.

Sounds like the Rockets are getting a 2nd round pick (that might never come about), and the 76er's are getting cash (probably to cover Royce's salary), and an "international prospect" Im assuming that whoever they are getting is someone that the Rockets were very high on... I wouldn't be surprised if it was for Sergio Llull given the fact that the 76ers just traded Holiday.
Oh yeah -- Philly fans are just going to loooooove Royce. Man...he better hopes the Sixers cut him...otherwise the Philly fans will. Interested to see who the international prospect is. Whoever is fine with me, but I hope it isn't the Greek kid. Amazing we're getting a pick back -- even a 2nd rounder. Probably has so many conditions we'll never get it.
Daryl, if you're reading this, here is my spell list for tomorrow Cure Light Wounds x2 Light Protection From Evil
Seems that the next Greyhound from Houston -> Philly leaves at 12:01 tonight. Royce should be on that one.
