Ty Lawson is heading to the Houston Rockets, and James Harden has to be happy with it.
The pairing of Lawson and Harden should push the Rockets back up to contender status, keeping up with the changes made by the Los Angeles Clippers and San Antonio Spurs.
The Rockets acquired Lawson for almost nothing, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports: "Houston will send Kostas Papanikolaou, Pablo Prigioni, Joey Dorsey, Nick Johnson and a lottery-protected 2016 first-round draft pick to Denver, sources said. Along with Lawson, the Nuggets will send a 2017 second-round pick to Houston.
