BREAKING: Josh Smith to the Rockets

[AirFederer]

Meh.

What do they have to pay him?

[L.Kizzle]

Lol we're only paying him 2 million. Low risk, high award. If he plays like shit, we can simply just bench his ass

Damn, wish my job would only pay me 2 milli.

I don't like the move, hopefully it works out.

Donuts can anchor the 5 for the second unit. He will eat other benches up. Smith won't have the ball in his hands as much as he did in Detroit. We don't need him to score 15 inefficient points. Just play D, grab boards and run the fast break.

But his brain is programmed otherwise. He's still gonna do him.

Chuck 3's on the perimeter. Antoine Walter Jr.

At first I hated the fact that we were insterested in Josh Smith, but then I realized that we're only going to pay him 2 mill. If he can rejuvenate himself here in Houston and return to his Atlanta form, then that'll be GREAT. Plus he'll get to play hid normal position, Power Forward, again. Low risk, high reward signing.

He's been playing power forward most of the season. Good luck.

I knew it

[longtime lurker]

Wow this is a very bad idea, Smith could f*ck up everything. The Rockets are really good right now.

Lol exactly. Great regular season move but I look forward to Smith ****ing up the Rockets in the playoffs

[Qwyjibo]

Too bad. I was hoping he'd go to an East team to ruin them.

The East just got a little bit better.

[Le Shaqtus]

It's bad form if he starts over D-Mo though. That's so stupid.

If he starts, Howard and Harden can keep him in check, but if he comes off the bench with the second unit he's liable to just chuck shots like he usually does.

Either way D-Mo is screwed because his minutes will go down.

Chuck 3's on the perimeter. Antoine Walter Jr.

Yea, but he won't have as many opportunities to do that here. Either way, he only costs 2 million. Worth the risk to see how he fits.

Think of it this way: is Smith better then dorsey/black? Of course he is and all we lose is one if them so it's a net positive.

Darryl Morey GM's like he's playing NBA 2K.

And Houston Rockets fans stupidly support this bullshit because they get to see more big names come in every year and shit.

Idiotic post. His job is to win games and he has done consistently.

He didn't luck into an MVP the way OKC did. He inherited two franchise players and lost both due to career ending injuries. In spite of that he has never had a losing record.

[Dro]

I think its a good move for Houston, now they have 2 rim protectors. Harden handles the ball a lot so hopefully that means less of Josh handling it.....

[navy]

Bad situation in Detroit.
Fresh start in Houston.
If Harden played defense, Houston could be the best defensive team in the league.

[russwest0]

stop with this shit. anyone who thinks Harden is a reliable defender now is a clown.

okay, so he should get props for first round exits year after year?

**** that. as a GM your only job is to a win a championship. period.
