On October 27, 2012, after failing to reach a contract extension, the Oklahoma City Thunder traded the 6th man of the year and future MVP candiate to the Houston Rockets. Along with Harden, Cole Aldrich, Lazar Hayward and Daequan Cook were also traded to the Rockets. Here's a quick rundown of that infamous trade and how Oklahoma City made out on that trade. Who did James Harden get traded for? Kevin Martin - played a total of 77 games with OKC in the 2012-2013 season, averaged 14 ppg, including a 25 point game in game 6 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals, helping the Thunder eliminate the Harden-led Rockets. Jeremy Lamb - the 2012, 12th overall pick by the Rockets. He never actually played for the Rockets. Lamb played sporadically with the Thunder over 3 seasons. He played in 148 games, including 8 starts. He had his best season as a rotational player in the 2013-14 season, averaging 19.7 minutes per game in 78 games, and averaged 8.5 ppg. Lamb now plays for the Charlotte Hornets. First round pick in 2013, number 12th pick overall, which the Thunder used to draft Steven Adams, a solid 4 year starting NBA center that should be around for a long time. Adams is still just 24 years old. Second round pick in 2013, number 32nd pick overall, which the Thunder used to draft Spanish shooting guard Alex Abrines. OKC finally signed Abrines on July 23, 2016 and made his debut on October 26, 2016. On February, 24, 2017, Abrines started his first game and scored a career high 19 points against the Lakers. He is still only 24 years old, so his best basketball is likely still ahead of him. First round pick in 2014, the 21st overall pick, which the Thunder used to draft Mitch McGary. He lasted 2 season with the Thunder organization, including a total of 52 games with the Thunder and 2 starts, averaging a total of 4.4 ppg in his NBA career. After a 5 game suspension for a failed drug test during the offseason, he was out of the league. Essentially, the big trade ended up being Harden for Adams and Abrines, two potential NBA starters. Is that enough for Harden?
