Dumb trade for OKC - incumbents in the West, but does this move make them more likely to defend that WC title against the Lakers?

but seriously that's the best they could get for hardin? expiring in martin and lamb? watch OKC trade lamb and/or perry jones in 3 years

Thunder got rid of Harden and got back Lamb & Martin. Not to mention stole Perry Jones in the draft. This OKC team is stacked.

I remember posters were given hell for saying OKC would not show loyalty to Harden because of the luxury tax. This is crazy though. I was expecting better value.

Kevin Martin expires this summer. This move could really mess up this season if Martin doesn't integrate well(I think he will.) And I think it is taking a decent gamble on an unproven guy in Lamb.

How do the salaries match up?

This was a win for OKC, I don't know what you guys are talking about. It's also better to get something for Harden than nothing especially a good amount of draft picks.

Presti is showing that hes the top dog in OKC. Didn't even hesitate to trade a fan/player favorite after negotiations broke down. Jesus hes scary

here:

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA

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

also, for those saying its just martin and lamb:

Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA

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

we'll see what significant ends up being, but im guessing some raptors pick perhaps?

C-izMe · Post #58 » by **C-izMe** » Sun Oct 28, 2012 2:58 am

I'm really thinking about this... Kevin Martin is a 20ppg guy and Lamb is still good.
