Nope.

OKC offered JH $55.5 million/4 years, $4.5 mill less than max he coveted & will get from Houston. OKC also gets Charlotte's 2013 2nd rnd pic


Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA

Houston plans to give James Harden a four year, $60 million extension once deal is completed, league sources tell Y! Sports.

To hell with everyone who allowed Perry Jones to fall to the Thunder in the draft as well.

Derrick Rose rule:

However, a player coming off his rookie scale contract is eligible to sign for 30% of the cap if he was voted to start in two All-Star Games, was named to an All-NBA Team twice, or was named MVP

Devil is in the details, NOFX. Same thing on the Bird rights as mentioned by EH in other thread.

That was Perry Jones who did that

OKC has the flexibility to make more moves now.

Who says the small market franchises can't survive ?? Get some people in your front office with brains and balls and look what can happen.

Get to the finals and get Jones and Lamb out of this draft...Not bad at all.

Orlando should have gotten expiring deals to clear space or young prospects on rookie scale.

Orlando got neither. OKC got both.

[Floods]

EHMunro is gonna shit a chicken when he hears about this.

[King Sancho Fantastic]

OKC is not ****ing around. Great move. Especially if that pick turns into a top 3 pick.

[King Joseus]

Those firsts are protected, yeah? I'm sure they'll still be good, but more of a down-the-line investment at this point than next year.

[Floods]

Nothing about pick protection has been reported.

[FSH]

Anyone else reading reports that Kevin Durant is pissed? Which he should be because Kevin Martin is not gonna fit with him and Westbrooke

NBADraft.net:

Rockets receive the Mavericks' 2013 first-round pick. (top 20 protected until 2017). via Lakers (Odom) (Jordan Hill trade) (Jordan Hill trade 03-15-12)
Houston Rockets receive the Raptors' 2013 first-round pick (Top 3 protected and 15-30 in 2013, top 2 protected and 15-30 in 2014 and '15, Top 1 protected and 15-30 in 2016 and '17, and unprotected in 2018. (Kyle Lowry trade) (Kyle Lowry trade 07-11-12)

[LA68]

If the picks are unprotected, this is robbery. I read there might be a Charlotte 2nd round pick which is like a first round pick too.

[Game3525]

Did not see that coming.
