    I don't think they got the NY 2nd rounders. Just these:

    1) Raptors 1st rounder that turned into Adams
    2) Mavericks 1st rounder - Top 20 protected in '14, '15, '16 and '17, unprotected in '18
    3) Bobcats 2nd rounder that turned into Abrines

    So 1 year rental of KMart, Lamb, Adams, Abrines, and whatever that Mavs pick turns into. If it's anything of significance, they likely won't get it until 2018. They may have also shed some salary, but I'm too lazy to calculate this right now.

    They should have amnestied Perkins and given harden the extra $6m or so he was asking for. That's where they made their big mistake. Not Westbrook over harden - that's defensible. But Perkins or Ibaka over harden, that's the real mistake.

    Steven Adams looks exactly like a lighter skinned Khal Drogo.

    Yea this is true. They should've paid Harden instead of Ibaka though. And trading him before the season? That part I'll never understand. Martin and Lamb still would have been here at the trade deadline and Lamb would've gotten some actual NBA minutes in his rookie season.

    Not that I'm complaining.

    Your hindsight is perfect.

    The Thunder absolutely could not let Ibaka go. Their forward rotation would have been Perkins, Colison, Thabeet. They were a top 5 player getting injured(who has never missed a game since junior high) away from going to the finals again IMO thats pretty good.

    Harden was gone and they did the best they could, we got Harden, I think it worked out great.

    On his way to Minnesota.

    This trade will go down as the most lop-sided move in a long time. Harden for 1yr of Martin, the 12th pick of 2012 draft, and 12th pick of this past draft. Murray made Presti his b****!

    No, we all didn't think that. It's not easy to be a 20 ppg scorer in the NBA. And it will be hard for him to accomplish that playing with OKC. We'll see how it turns out for him but as it stands now K-Mart was thd best player they got out that trade and he gone.

    If the Rockets are able to take over the western conference and win the championship _ Presti is subject to be fired...Lol.

    About the only things the two have in common is the school they went to and they play C. Not even remotely similar players otherwise. I imagine you haven't seen a single Adams or Gray game.
