    All three teams involved on the three-way trade lost tonight.

    Rockets (9th West) v Pacers (14th East) (115, 125)
    Kings (13th West) v Clippers (12th West) (89, 99)
    Knicks (12th East) v Thunder (5th West) (118, 121) in OT

    The Knicks had arguably the toughest challenge, as the Thunders are currently ranked 5th in the West.

    However, we've all had a chance to watch them play now, and it's worth a shot trying to gage who got the most out of the trade, keeping in mind that we're only looking at this season, as this offseason is going to have a lot of potential changes in the roster for every team involved in this trade.


    I'm going to say that the Rockets got the most, with the Kings getting the least out of the trade.

    This thread is confusing.

    Or I'm a little too drunk.

    4 people that pick knicks/rockets deserved to be shot, because they are mentally challenged to the N degree.

    The Knicks got the best of the deal because as everyone will see this summer, they will get TWO max players to agree to go there like Lebron and Bosh or some other combination of two max players; then Tmac will sign there for less so that they will have 3 Allstar players still playing at a high level and competing for championships for the next 5 plus years! :eek:

    The Rockets got a good deal too, but those picks from NY won't be as great as many here think that are basing it off of NY's past performance recently. After this year, the Knicks will be pretty damn good and we will only have low first round picks from them, although still that isn't too bad.

    So I think Knicks got the best and Kings got the worst, if you can even call getting Landry the worst of any deal. :rolleyes:

    Sorry, T-Mac will not be an All-Star caliber player for the next five years. I am not hating.

    To respond to the thread, it really is hard to tell off of one game. Take Landry, we know what he can provide. Does that mean he will average 10 pts a game on a low field goal percentage for Sactown? No.

    You know Kevin Martin will excel in our system.

    How long will T-Mac's body last? Remember, we did not trade T-Mac because he is not a good player. We traded him because of his inability to stay healthy (among other things). NY will still have a lot of work to do this summer.

    Us, on the other hand, do not have a lot of work to make this team a whole lot better. We are one trade away (if that) and having Yao back (same question mark as Mac) from being a top team in the West. I believe even with Yao out, we are now a playoff team next year.

    Usually whoever gets the best player in the trade wins the trade so...
