People thinking this trade matters?

People acting like the rocket's didn't ride an insanely hot josh smith and corey brewer...?

If it wasn't for those dudes they would have been out in the 2nd round...

Only got out of the first cause they played a mavs team that was falling apart...

The second this team meets a healthy GS, SA, or OKC, they are going to get killed...

Durant wasn't 100% at all last year though. I don't think the Rockets can touch a healthy OKC, but as we've seen every year since 2012, a healthy OKC is a rare occurrence.

I love Ty Lawson, but WB against Ty and Harden playing the 1-2.. lol. That starting perimeter D will be garbage.

That's why you have Ariza to guard Westbrook. But don't doubt Bev's effect on Westbrook becuz last I checked Bev was still in Westbrooks head.

You forget Rockets wasn't healthy in the playoffs either. Plus we got some soldiers in Ariza, Brewer and Beverley guys who go all out no matter what. With D-Mo and his improved post game you can get 10-14 easy points from him. And if OKC and SA or GS meet in a 3-6 or 4-5 matchup which is possible one of those teams will be gone before the Rockets would have to face them.

So Rockets playing Bev-Lawson-Harden-Ariza?

Lol. They wouldn't put Ariza on WB when Ty and Harden are in. Obviously though, Bev can slow him down, same with Ariza and maybe Brewer but putting Ariza on WB would put matchup issues elsewhere.

You right but you're underestimating Harden's D. He played good defense during the reg season but once the minutes started catching up to him in the playoffs his defense plus he was carrying the offense load of having to score and create. With the team they have now his load isn't as full on offense and his defense should stay steady throughout the reg and post season.

Yea this trade matters. Ty Lawson was a huge addition. Now they have another player that can get their own shot and penetrate. This takes attention away from Harden helps their spacing dramatically imo. There is a huge difference between Ty Lawson and Jason Terry being your starting PG.

:huhldup: Rockets going hard
YOu can argue this is a top 5 backcourt, now.
Question remains wether Dwight can stay healthy.

And who's their SF now that Josh Smith left?

The got Ariza, Brewer and McDaniels can also get minutes at SF.
