    CNN/SI only has a little story about the trade. ESPN has nothing that I can find.

    Why isn't this being considered big news being the steal that it is? (And don't use the ol' "Houston gets no respect" excuse!)

    Any ideas? (or links?)

    I think it's a simple matter of being over-shadowed by the Brand trade as well as the SAR trade. Those guys are already stars in the league.

    It looks like a veteran can Be had.

    THe articles are within other articles, which are basic summations of the draft, not entire articles on Brand etc.

    Probably because it happened after all the sportswriters had turned in their stories for the night. I'm sure we'll see more press in the morning. This wasn't actually confirmed until pretty late.

    Good thing we had Jeff to reassure us, or I would have had a heart attack [​IMG].

    Foxsports said the trade was a risk by the Rockets. They said Griffin's past is too much of a risk to give up three picks for him.
