But seriously, I was about to call James Harden and Perkins getting traded yesterday and make a post. I guess they decided to trade Aldrich instead which looks like Thabeet could be our back-up centre now LOL

Wow, there goes any chance the thunder had!!

Okc win out of this. K Martin can score in absolute buckets, will fill Hardens role perfectly and lamb is going to be a fun in years to come!! Okc winners by a big margin in this one!!

I 100% agree with you. The Rockets got Harden, Cook & Hayward. Cook can basically only shoot threes and Hayward can do virtually nothing!

 

[WhiteyTheCelticsFan]

The Thunder got a better scoring option in Martin & a better back up SG in Lamb

 

[spurlec]

Martin can score i agree there but harden is one of a few guys in the league that are flat out game changers, only my opinion of course. I must admit i have not seen a whole lot of martin...

 

[ElkyJnr]

cant belive they got rid of harden could be a costly move..

great to see Nate Robinson have a great pre-season!!

 

[spurlec]

Martin is also very very injury prone.

He's only here for a year anyway, no biggie.

 

[spurlec]

Why only a year??

 

[wjrwebber]

Ha... I hope Harden enjoys mediocrity with the Rockets. $52Mil over 4 years wasn't enough? Laughable, sure he is a decent player but an extra 2 million a year wasn't going to make or break him and now he wont be apart of one the most successful franchises for the next decade. Players piss me off like that... You can really burn your own team when you want too large of a contract which inhibits them from making a better roster by not putting too much money into just a few players.

 

[lilreddevil]

Why only a year??

Martin's on the last year of his contract.

 

[spurlec]

The club would have a fair say in the deal s

As a spurs fan I'm happy to see the back of harden from the thunder!!

James Harden has been traded to houston, How crazy!

 

[lilreddevil]

Love it! OKC wins big-time, if we had signed Harden we would've had to amnesty Perkins. Now we remove the log-jam at centre by moving Aldrich too!
