Ty Lawson happy to be with Rockets, calls trade 'breath of fresh air'

Posted Sep 4, 2015
Ty Lawson said the trade from the Denver Nuggets to the Houston Rockets will be a fresh start and that he's the missing piece the team needs to reach the NBA Finals. "Oh yeah, for sure," Lawson told Fox 26 Houston. "Before I even came to the team, I was talking to James Harden. I was like, 'Man get me over there.' I'll be that piece to get over the hump. It's definitely a breath of fresh air." (ESPN.com)
