    & I got a feeling that OKC are gonna trade Martin cause I believe his contract is the same as Harden's!!!

    it expires at the end of the year... they'd probably be better off holding on to him and trying to get a fa to come there which they should be successful at....

    All this talk about 1st round picks but WTF are rookies gonna do to help the Thunder beat the Lakers, heat, or even the spurs the next two seasons? The Thunder are built to win now not rebuild.

    Lol of course we do... 16 mil to asik/lin and 15 mil to harden is not that much money. Harden is only getting a couple mil more than martin was. Asik was worth that money, I'm not a big fan of lin(lin was a signing pushed by our owner) and I might eat my words but Asik will show he's a one of the top rebounders/defenders in the league this year....

    your right the heat spurs lakers nuggets all have teams filled with veteran players. A rookie is not going to help them that much.

    Initial reaction I think this is a terrible trade for OKC. I don't think it's a upgrade and you don't make a trade like this when you're a contender and the season is gonna start next week. You wait until the trade deadline you probably would've gotten more. Definitely amateur hour in OKC's front office tonite.

    I disagree I think its better to make the deal now so they have more than a couple months to play together and build chemistry, plus there not doing better than that, depending on how good Lamb can be in his first year they potentially can be a better team with Martin and Lamb than they were with Harden, Martin is as good if not a better scorer than Harden, people keep saying how is Martin going to guard Kobe, I'm thinking how dangerous Durant, Westbrook and Martin on the floor at the same time will be, plus I doubt they will give him that responsibilty of covering Kobe, then throw in the two first round picks one being most likely a lottery pick, there only going to get younger and better, so there just as good potentially better now, their still building for the future, and financially it makes sense, I give Okc an A+ on the deal

    good trade for okc everyone knows they couldnt max him out hardens a beast (yeah he dissapeared in the finals) but Kmart puts up #'s too, harden isnt worth the mx (but i aint mad at NO ? for getting that guap) but hey if h-town or another team gon pay it cant b mad at him for taking it.. rings dont mean the same to all players *shrugs*

    From lurking the Thunder's message board it's about 60-40 against the trade.

    I think if Westbrook was a real pg him Martin and Durant would be dangerous but not as he is now. Thats a lot of iso basketball right there if you thought it was hard for KD to get the ball before its only going to get harder now.
