Re: NBA Movement Central 2012 (All Transactions 1st Page)
Would like to say hard to believe Harden left OKC a title contention team to go to Houston over 6 mill but this day and age it really isn't. Going to be interesting seeing Lin and Harden together...2 guys who thought they were worth more than their old teams wanted to pay. Could be a mess in Houston if they hit those loosing streaks.-= Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.=- Edward MurphyComment

I agree with this. Harden had to share the ball with two stars. He's going to be the man in Houston. Lin can't carry that team obviously. They're going to need an inside scorer, but they do have some talented bigs and I've been hearing good things about Asik. You definitely can't say they got worse. Yeah maybe Lamb might turn out to be good, or one of the draft picks might turn out to be someone good, but its a chance they had to take. I think its a win-win for both teams. OKC couldn't afford Harden and they got some pieces in return instead of losing him next offseason for nothing.
I do not like the moves Houston is making. Seems like they want to make big moves so bad that they force it. It started with the Lin deal and now this.Comment

I think this is a great trade for both sides. Martin is a solid addition if he stays healthy and Jeremy Lamb can just take his place hopefully after this season, plus the 1st rounders.
I don't think Harden is worth the $$, but Houston needed a big name.Saints, LSU, Seminoles, Pelicans, Marlins, LightningComment

You can find many of them in the hall of fame.
Again, the guy is 23 years old, and has greatly improved each season, on both sides of the court, although his defense still lacks - it's still better than Martin's.Comment

no way you should turn down 54 mill and a possible Ring for 6 million extra.
IF (and i mean "If" to the highest degree because i want my Lakers to win it all) the Lakers dont win the Championship, i sort of hope OKC wins it all so they (Presti) can laugh in his ****ing face.
if he ends up being 30 something and ringless he will realize the mistake he made.
were talking 5 NBA Finals games. hell yes!"on hoping there is a PSN flash sale before Valentine's Day"
Man there are no flashers... now what are we going to do for vd

A lot of great players have 'vanished' in the playoffs/NBA Finals one time or another.

And your comparison of him to Martin would be great if it was something close to a player for player swap -- it's not. Houston also sent two firsts and a second round draft picks.
You bring up his age again, okay sure he is young. Remind me, how old are Westbrook and Durant? Oh but surely it is unfair to compare him to those two and expect him to be at their level right? I mean it is not as if anyone is saying he is equal to them or arguing that he is worth just as much as they are...oh wait, Houston is going to give Harden a max contract...Comment

With that said, with all the rumored moves the Rockets could have made...the Dwight rental and the Pau (Basketball Reasons) trade that never was, this one has me more excited than the other two. The Other two I am glad didn't happen.Comment

Very smart move for OKC. Martin will fill in for Harden just fine, and with the way OKC develops prospects, Lamb could be just as good as Harden in a few years.
Fans may not like it now, but they would have been way more mad if they lost Harden for nothing in the off-season.
OKC now has a NICE bench unit...Maynor, Thabo, Lamb, PJ3, Collison.Chicago Bulls
