I'm surprised they gave up on him so quickly but Patterson can play today (even if his ceiling is lower) and maybe his presence will help keep Boogie Cousins in check.

It's a nice deal for Houston because of Thomas Robinson's upside but he hasn't been able to do much of anything this year in Sacramento. (That being said, it is Sacramento and he could very well blossom under McHale and alongside Harden and with Asik backing him up on defense.)
