[Winston-Salem Journal]: Ish Smith signs 2 year contract w/ Rockets

ish and jt rippin up the D league. rio grand champions

 

If only I could give you negative rep points

 

Goodbye Norma Jean

 

Trader Jorge?

 

I would imagine unless there is a trade before hand you are looking at our training camp roster. We have enough players to go three deep to rotate players in and out with like 3 spares (harris johnson and jeffries). That's all we need.

I'm glad though, I liked Ish in the summer league.. he did well.

 

he is quicker than AB……and he has the same coach as rajon rondo, that maybe the reason why he is a terrible shooter

 

This guy has awesome vision and is a dynamite passer. I remember watching this kid in the Summer League and he looked good.

WEHT Andre Turner?

 

All joshing aside this is a very nice pickup for a 3rd team PG.

He is very quick, has very good handles, is a nice passer, hits people on cuts very well, and has a PG's mind.

Probably the best passing PG on the team, in all honesty.

He will be down at Rio Grande probably with JT, and maybe Patterson.....

In the Summer league Ish looked a bit tenative, but most of that was because he had not had time to learn the players he was playing with....a PG needs that time.

I think it is a smart move, by a smart organization.

Its prob. a one year partial guarantee contract with the a team option for the second year, to keep him in check just in case he turns out to be a good one. I wish they would of gone after Rafer. For all his faults, he and Shane are the only ones that seem to know how to get Yao the ball in the correct spots. No offense, to the low bbIQ of Brooks when it comes to passing it to Yao.

 

Good Bye, Les.

 

I really think Brooks or Lowry will be gone soon.

 

We're all waiting for that day. :grin:

 

Probably a not guaranteed deal. He's talented, quick, and a good passer... but will need to defend more than he did at the SL to make the team.

 

Granny Becky has a better free throw percentage than Ish.

 

Nice signing Morey, welcome to the Houston Rockets Ishmael Smith!

I think it makes a lot of sense actually. Kevin Martin is likely to get injured for some period of time this season, so Lee will take his minutes at the starting 2 guard spot. If Lowry happened to go down again during the same stretch like what happened last season, we need someone to spell Aaron. He looked solid in summer league as a set up guy, so I'm all for this.

 

LOL @ everyone who said Ariza was traded because Les wasn't serious about paying the tax. Ariza was traded so that we would have the flexibility to make power plays like this. Look out superfriends.

 

Let's get those Finals ticket printed out, RIGHT NOW!

 

SPLASH!
