    Trading for Kyle Lowry.

    Harden trade is TBD, but I'm optimistic.

    I think the Scola trade. We got him at virtually no cost and he was a vital piece to our championship team in 09 that didn't work out.

    Harden would never have happened without Lowry.

    Trading Alston for Lowry was talent scouting at it's finest, and the epitome of Moreyball.

    Gay for Battier,

    Elevates us to contender and locks a division rival into mediocrity for years and years.

    1a. Harden and fillers for Martin, Lamb, and picks (if Harden pans out)
    2. Spanoulis for Scola- complete robbery.
    3. Rafer and future 1st for Lowry

    How so?

    We traded away a Durant level player for a no-stat allstar.

    The Grizzlies were the one that got a player that is on Durant's level, not Houston.

    Agreed with this.

    Artest coming here, to play alongside Yao and McGrady, gave this team a strong defensive identity - something in the Yao-TMac era that wasn't ever seen, it felt lii.e

    Billy spanilous trade was the biggest robbery, but my vote goes to Rafer for Lowry, where is Rafer now? Lowry is a borderline all-star

    The Scola trade was a no brainer, but the Lowry trade took some forsight
