    Does attaching a first round pick to this trade guarantee that the Rockets will re-sign Lou after he opts out?

    Another intended benefit from this trade is that it should easy the regular season minute burden off of Harden. He shouldn't be playing more than 34 minutes a game going forward.

    There is always space and chance for a PG who can't shoot... oh wait.

    Very very good trade... on paper.

    Still work to do ... and of course salary cap implications. But I suspect either Gordon or Williams is moveabel for cap space in the offseason if needed.

    Great trade.

    No,

    The first rounder more like a price you need to pay to get rid of Brewer, like Lin.

    Rockets always lacked good ball handlers who can actually make openings with there dribbling. So we got a ball handler and shooter. Perfect

    Pretty sure he doesn't have a player's option on his 2nd year.

    Makes us better for sure, but doesn't push us over the top. Not sure where we go from here to improve.

    Who else thinks Harden called in a favor from his agent? I mean the timing of this.....

    I think it does push us over the top. Lou adds another scorer to our team in addition to Harden and Ego.

    This is absurd. We traded the worst rotation player in basketball for one of the best offensive players in basketball.

    Question is: why did the lakers make this trade? Pure incompetence or is there something I'm missing?

    I think this is a really solid move. Our team suffers most when our offense can't score. He'll help with that a ton.

    3&D SF up next.
