Well played, Rodman23 Here we go.

The NBA Trade Deadline does not just come and go without activity from Daryl Morey. The Houston Rockets made a pair of trades this week, sending Patrick Patterson, Cole Aldrich and Toney Douglas to the Kings for Thomas Robinson, Francisco Garcia and Tyler Honeycutt, as well as sending Marcus Morris to the Phoenix Suns for a second round pick.

As LeBron James would say, "It's about damn time." The Rockets pulled off their long-awaited major trade this week, landing James Harden from the Oklahoma City Thunder for Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb and multiple draft picks. David Weiner (aka BimaThug) joins us on the podcast to discuss the Rockets' shockingly-timed trade for The Beard.

Dwight Howard was traded. Andrew Bynum was traded. Neither were traded to the Houston Rockets.

BimaThug returns as we go long to analyze the 2012 NBA Draft and the Rockets selections of Jeremy Lamb, Royce White and Terrence Jones, along with the acquisition of second round pick Furkan Aldemir. We also talk about the Rockets signing of Omer Asik to an offer sheet, the pursuit of Eric Gordon and how this impacts the Dwight Howard chase.

In sixteen years, we've never tried our hands at running a podcast, but with the NBA Draft just over a week away, we felt it might be a good medium to get some thoughts out there.
