Last week, Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Houston was looking to move guard Ty Lawson, “cooperating with Lawson’s representatives in exploring possible deals to bring back some measure of return on the organization’s original investment in Lawson[.]” To date, Lawson has possibly been the most disappointing high-profile acquisition the franchise has made since the title years. Thinking back, chronologically, Charles Barkley was a success (though controversially in the minds of some purists who maintain the Cassell-Horry rendition of the team had one run still in it); Steve Francis was the face of the team, as was Tracy McGrady during his tenure; Ron Artest was a huge hit, and James Harden and Dwight Howard have lifted the franchise into respectability.
