Smith played like dang, when y'all gonna renegotiate me to $30 million per a season. You know what I'mma 1/3 Ass it from now on. **** y'all.
Big fella is not condescending. I say it all the time. It's respect. But I probably am not your generation. If you are between 18-35 we won't relate very well as I am older and I ain't interested in the political correctness of the younger. But I can use condescending remarks if you want. LOL. Funny though. If you want to now throw Harrell in the deal then we have to start looking at Justin Anderson as a player as well. We were just dealing with the picks side of the equation. Anderson is a low first with two years of development left and Philly is after perimeter players to balance out their roster. Harrell leaves them with another duplicative big and they ain't got minutes to develop the ones they already got. If you can't see the difference in the picks then I don't know what to say here. I'd take Dallas trade over our seconds. It's not close. Philly wanted Bev.
Trying to remove the bone-headed 3PT attempts from Josh Smith's game is like telling Dwight Howard to make more free throws. Neither will happen!
Josh Smith is an equivalent to a player that can get base hits but strikes out a ton and doesn't really get on base in any other way. Sure his Batting average is over .250 and plays some defense in the field, but K's over half the time leaving men stranded.
As much as we all loathe Bogut, I'm pretty sure the guy would prefer to play for a competitive team. He snubbed Houston for Dallas in the offseason thinking he'd turn Dallas into a contender. So he's gone from record breaking team, to bottom tier and now to the gutter (PHI) My guess is he's eaten enough humble pie to realize that Houston gives him a good chance to punk the team that tossed him off the bandwagon And if he's NOT inclined to support the Rockets. SEE YA
Why does every thread devolve into it being about BBallHolic instead of what it should be about? Even if I put him on ignore the entire thread is derailed. You would think in a forum made to talk about the Rockets we could actually talk about the team and not about this one poster.
No more Corey Brewers! Andrew Bogut is the only who is worth it, but the rest of the buyouts are Corey Brewers 2.0! No more of that, please!
I cant see why in the world any Rox fan would want to see more of the dumb BBIQ that T.Jones/J.Smith brings to the team. I feel much dumber watching the play and would prefer them never playing for the team I watch.
And Smoove would play primarily at the 5 spot in this system anyway. Perhaps some minutes at 4 if Ryno or Dekker are nicked up.
It's true that Josh Smith took 7 (!) three pointers per 36 minutes in '15-'16 for the Rockets, and shot ~27%. But at the end of the bench, he won't be getting that many minutes and if you anchor him in the middle with a 3 guard set he will become more of a defensive run-and-gunner. Exactly what we could use. He has the bulk and the timing to be a defensive pest and rebound against bigger players. Exactly what we could use. Also, as much as we all like to try and pick a theory so we can be proven right, we don't know what he'll be like without pouty Howard or Bickerstaff here. In Morey / D'Antoni I trust. If they don't want him, that's a strong signal. Hope we get someone.
Didn't the trade deadline pass? I'm confused about discussion. I like to talk about trades before the trade deadline.
He's also a whiz initiating and finishing fast breaks. What he may lack in style points or 3 point exuberance, he makes up with his playmaking. He adds another player who can create for himself or for his teammates. This is in addition to his rim protection. And we are talking about an end of the bench player people. Instead of kids or malcontents, let's take some grizzled respected warriors into the postseason.
