From Houston to Denver, that includes forward Kostas Papanikolaou.

I hope it works out for everyone, but Lawson needs to get things in order.

Well, that was unexpected. Beverley is headed to the bench quite quickly after re-signing. He can't be happy.

I was just about to ask if this was a silent period of sorts . Things have been so quiet.

That's great news from my point of view.  Now folks on celtics.blog can stop posting trade proposals involving Lawson, who I believe would have been a detriment to the Celts' building process. ;D

Seriously, I hope he gets his act together and Houston might be a good place for him to do it.

Now, Houston are a legit title contender.

Ty Lawson was exactly the type of talent Houston needed to add to fix their offense. To give them some diversity. To not be so Harden-dependent.

Yep, exactly my thinking. It's a great fit.

Yeah, I think it's a great pick up for Houston.  Lawson's a talented point guard.  I'm not even sure what all his off-court problems were, but I hope he gets it together.

Several DUI's and generally terrible attitude.

Denver is tanking now maybe we can get us some Dano and Chnadler on the cheap we have the picks and players to make it happne. Good News for more moves coming.

Lawson wants out of Denver when they draft Mudiay. Lawson does everything he can to let everyone know he wants out. Lawson gets a dui and the Nuggets decide it's the last straw so they need to deal him.

Is it me or in the end could it be argued that getting a DUI was actually a vehicle for getting Lawson exactly what he wants?

The top of the West is going to be a bloodbath next season.  It's even more potent than last season.

Golden State - Defending champs.  Pretty much running it back minus David Lee
San Antonio - Signed LaMarcus Aldridge and brought back all their core guys
Houston - Adds Ty Lawson to strengthen their weakest position
OKC - Getting Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka back from injury
LA Clippers - Re-sign DeAndre, and add much needed quality depth
Memphis - tweaked lineup to improve depth
