Nice trade for the Rockets, adding more athleticism to the backup minutes of Harden/Parsons.

Always enjoyed watching Hamilton play, at least his last season at Texas. Hope he brings it to H-town!

I (ish) heart Hamilton, but I would in no way be suprised to see him in another move

Is that Drake at the top left? Looks like Cannan was brought back up.

Can't tell.

Did you also see they gave Troy Daniels a contract?

He holds 3 point records in college (played Shaka Smart's "Havoc" system) & the D-League (set D-League record for 3s in a season (previously 152) with 2013-14 barely more than halfway complete.

He will stay down with RGV but smart move, IMO

Rox use D league as well as anyone

@MrSuPeRsTar_30 = Daniels

JHam did not need long to adapt to the Rockets' style of play.

Impressive debut -- 4-6 from the field, 2-3 on threes, for 12 points, 4 boards, 2 assists, a steal and a block.

And here is full video highlights of JHam's first game

The first play, he snags a loose ball, and finds Harden with an outlet pass. It was such a sweet play that even a Kings fan gave Harden a fist bump afterward.

Rockets beat Heat!

JHam with 4 and 3, and defended Lebron well when he was on him.

ET noticed.

James Harden went to the rodeo last night.

It appears it literally was "his first rodeo"

Harden liked his new hat so much, he arrived at Toyota Center for tonight's game just now still wearing it.

Rockets destroyed the Indiana Pacers last night.

Fun game to watch.

There's a new sheriff in town.
