    Terry is like Yoda mentoring a young Skywalker. And I have not seen Star Wars since I was a kid, so I'm not sure that the reference makes sense. But I think it does.

    Considering Smith mentioned that he never even really said goodbye to anyone in Houston when he left...

    Wouldn't let him go anywhere?

    Terry: C'mon Harden I just want to go to the store and get some milk! I'll re-sign with the Rockets!

    Harden knows that jet has swagger. Who are the swag champs without Terry's swag?

    Breaking news: Terry signs a shoe deal with Adidas worth 10 million moneys.

    That sneaky, sneaky Harden. Working his contract and adidas over to include a clause to sign old man terry.

    I really love that for Terry it really wasn't just about the money, but the opportunity to mentor younger players. A lot of guys may say that, but Terry backed it up with his action.

    But for a mid-career guy like Smith, a guaranteed role and playing time, as well as the potential impact on future contracts, have to be the main factors in his decision-making.

    Good stuff to hear. I like that Terry is on as a mentor, and more importantly, that Harden is willing to listen and be mentored. On a side note, I could definitely see Terry coaching in a year or two when he retires, especially since he's talking about helping young teams "on the cusp" like the Pelicans.

    Harden too fat to be persuasive.

    Truth - I'm happy for the same reason. He gives us the mental strength that we need

    Terry strikes me as a good future analyst (TNT, ESPN) or coach (maybe not head coach but assistant...)
