James Harden traded to the Rockets

For Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, and future draft considerations.

Shocking that it was this soon after the word was out that his contract negotiations didn't go well. I think the Thunder actually got a really solid deal while the Rockets get a bonafide star SG to go along with Lin in the backcourt.

The Rockets send Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb and future draft considerations to the Thunder for Harden, sources tell Y! Sports.

Along with All-Star guard James Harden, the Thunder will send Cole Aldridge, Lazr Hayward and Daquan Cook to the Rockets, source tells Y!

As part of deal, Thunder will receive "significant" future draft picks from Houston, source tells Y! Sports.

Houston sends two 2013 first-round picks (from Dallas and Toronto) to Oklahoma CIty, source tells Y!

Houston also sends a 2013 second-round pick (via Charlotte) to Thunder.

I wanted OKC to trade him but this was totally unexpected.

if money was an issue this is a smart move. Instead of losing him for nothing get a vet and some talent back. Like harden martin is a foul drawing machine, but he can't play point

Jeremy Lamb is going to be a beast in OKC.

Martin and Lamb aren't bad players at all but I don't think OKC is the team that got better from this deal.
