"As for Harden, Houston could get far enough under the cap to offer several types of packages — one built around Kevin Martin’s expiring deal and a couple of picks, including Toronto’s likely lottery pick; or another built around those same picks, plus some combination of young wing players (Jeremy Lamb, Chandler Parsons, etc). (Note: Any deal involving Martin would require the Thunder to send out about $2.5 million in salary on top of Harden)."

This is smart GM'ing for both teams. One monkey don't stop no show. Martin's a professional 2, playing for his next deal on a contender. Lamb is a sixth man and a potential starter on a rookie deal next year.

3 first round picks? They have no more use for youngins. Those are getting flipped somewhere. Great job by Presti.

Morey did something sooner than later. And that helps the team. Nothing's worse than being a team in flux for a season (see last year's Nets) They have a star that can give them firepower at an All-Star Caliber and they added James Harden! (I couldn't resist.)

still gonna have tons of cap room next summer. Young forwards, hopefully one's a keeper, and one can be flipped. Absorb a deal in a trade? Sign a FAgent? Good move by Morey.
