James Harden Traded To Rockets. REACTION!!! (merged)

OKC preferred Kanter to the package they got from Houston.

Has this been reported, or is this an assumption?

It was something that was something Zack Lowe from Grantland said on the BS report this morning. Supposedly they also shopped Harden deals to the Wizards for Beal, to the Raptors for Valenciunas, and to the Warriors for Klay Thompson.

Makes sense they were shooting for elite talent still on a rookie contract. Though obviously Lamb isn't chopped liver given where he was selected.

That Valanciounas for Harden trade would've been very interesting.

Appalled at any positive talk about Kevin Martin because of his ppg compared to harden...truly laughable. Really? Hes the worst good player ive ever seen.

worse than say....Orien Green: 121 games, 2.5 pts/game average, rpg = 1.5, apg = 1.2, and an eye-rolling .387 fg% ? 


or even Michael Ruffin P/F - 6'9 - 248 lbs

"Arguably, there's no other player who committed more career personal fouls (942) than points in total (716), in his 9 year career. Staggering figures. Unbelievable. That's an average of 1.7 pg and 2.3 p/f in 14 mins. That's a statistic of 4.3 ppg (40% shooting) and 5.7 fouls per 36 minutes. That's the most negative player efficiency rating in the history of the NBA."

them there two guys be tough to beat for being bad.
