Reinforcements Arrive, or, How Koby Altman Worked the James Harden Trade Sweepstakes

While superstar James Harden was manuvering the sheer physical bulk of his emotions out the door in his final loss as a Houston Rocket vs. a joyful LeBron James, a number of NBA general managers were clearly very busy — including Koby Altman.

The Cavs have thus emerged tonight as one of the potential winners in a four-team megatrade. At the end of the day the Harden trade brings one very high-quality player to the Cavs — Jarrett Allen, a highly desirable 22-year old center — along with a solid frontcourt piece, namely Taurean Prince, Brooklyn’s second-unit small forward who is billed as a “3-and-D” player.
