The Thunder pulled a stunner Saturday night sending James Harden, Cole Aldrich, Lazar Hayward and Daequan Cook to the Houston Rockets for Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb, two first round picks and a second round pick. It's quite a turn of events for the Thunder who just sent their Sixth Man of the Year packing after failing to agree to an extension for him. But who came out on top in this deal? The Thunder waived Orton Saturday to sign 15th man DeAndre Liggins. After dealing away four players and getting back two, the Thunder have open roster spots. And a newfound need inside after trading their apparent backup center. Orton will almost assuredly be getting a call in the near future.
