    What kind of deal did we give Adrien?

    Morey made a mistake by picking Thabeet over Smith.

    He did that as a starter playing 22% more minutes. Greg is doing it off the bench in only 28 minutes along with 4 blocks. Adrien won't be the defensive force that Smith can be.

    I think Greg Smith can play in the NBA. Rockets better be careful because any team in the NBA can sign him whenever they want. Adrian seems like a decent player but he isn't going play ahead of Scola, Patterson, or Morris.

    I one game man. Consistency is key, Smith needs time to show that, if he in fact is worth being on an NBA roster.

    I like Smith, but The 6 turn overs is not good.

    Of course he did. I said keep him and give him time. So of course they put him in D league and keep Adrian. Who was the same guy. They could have just kept Greg Smith and see what they had in Adriens minutes he got in the Orlando loss.

    I really want Greg Smith on the team, it would be a shame if we keep him in the RGV and he gets a call up for another team. I said ti before, 6 foot 20 yr old prospects like him don't grow on trees.

    This is all fine and dandy, but its the D-League folks. The same D-league where {insert player you've never heard of} dominates for a year, gets signed to a ten day contract, then goes overseas to have a mediocre career in Israel, Turkey, or China.

    Just Sayin...

    This is the same d-league where Chuck Hayes came from, who was the best defender out of all our power forwards, last season. He is also a better defender than any power forwards on the roster, this season, especially the new guy Adrien.

    He is also a better defender than any power forwards in the whole damn league...

    (Greg Smith is freaking 20)

    We need to sign him to a super cheap, longterm deal.

    Nice sig, btw...

    Dear Morey,

    Waive Adrien,

    sign Smith to nice 3 year partially guaranteed deal,

    Ship Marcus Morris to the D-league to let him get some floor time.

    Wow, I think this is going to be the one that got away.
    Part ways with Flynn and move forward with this MANCHILD; on a Budinger type contact. Then leave him in the D-league along with Morris for at least the first half on the season and see what happens. Let the coaching staff work with both of them in a one on one setting and in time they will BOTH be at least rotation players
