3 way trade, HOU Assets to the hawks, Smith and a pick to the Lakers, Pau to the Rockets.

Lakers would be worse. Pau>Josh, especially w/ Dwight.

Pau is sending mixed signals my way...he just looks out of it man.

[Rob S]

Pau will be fine. Dwight and Josh is not a good fit.

[SickwithIt1010]

Yeah, I always find myself wanting Smith because my mind goes off about the defensive possibilities...but then I remember Smith thinks hes a stretch 4 but he cant shoot.

[pierce2walker]

I think Smith needs a better coaching staff to get him to stop taking those long 2s and play more of a mid-range face-up drive kind of game. He could also be awesome if he was able to be used well off ball. Not sure about Mike Brown in that role.

Well Nash as a PG would help him on the offensive end...Mike Brown isnt helpin anyone with ****...

Don't sit there and talk about the Lakers, this is the "Thunder are idiots" night.

Worse offseason, Sarver signing Childress & Warrick and trading for Hedo or Thunder 2012?

Thunder, dude. They flushed a chance at a title down the toilet.

(Childress is underrated).

[scottyboy]

i just don't get it. I still can't wrap my head around it. Harden's just the man and the chemistry and talent and youth and just...

YOU HAD THREE YOUNG PLAYERS ALL ON THE OLYMPIC SQUAD WHAT ARE YOU DOING DEALING ONE OF THEM

You signed Bropez to a max deal, so...

Thunder definitely hurt their title chances this year, but if Lamb pans out (and he will be cost controlled for the next few years), they have some nice picks on top of that young core of theirs. I guess they see this as a set up move towards a future dynasty?

Harden is 23, why trade what is a dynasty now for what MIGHT be (like a 15 percent chance) a dynasty in the future?

[Rob S]

They violated the golden rule......there is no trying to justify it. Unless they know Lamb is going to be better than Harden, it's a ridiculously dumb trade.

You have a fascination with Josh Smith that I just can't understand. Pau is a much better fit with Dwight. They're almost a perfect ying/yang in terms each other weakness and strengths.

Let it play itself out first before we go calling for trades.

I'm glad we're on the same page here Rob...(Lamb wont be better).

[fenikz]

Rockets a playoff team now?

Lin - Douglas
Harden - Delfino
Parsons - Jones - Morris
Patterson - White
Asik - Aldrich - Motiejunas

[Brodeur]

Yep.......and a lot better than the Suns, so we can close that now.

[fenikz]

ya I don't think I had the Suns ahead of them anyways

[comahan]

<3 Parsons and Patterson. Great role players. Havent seen Asik as a Rocket so I'll reserve judgment. Just need to replace Lin with a legit player at PG.
