    Roll with this lineup: Lawson, Harden, Ariza, Smith, Howard.

    Everyone wear a headband.

    His chemistry with both Dwight and Harden are amazing. He can get his own shot and he really knows how to pass and play D. His biggest weakness is shooting the three too much when he's not hot.

    Well I tried to tell you so (yes I did),
    But I guess you didn't know,
    As the saddest story goes,
    Baby, now I got the flow,
    'Cause I know it from the start,
    Baby, when you broke my heart,
    That I had to come again,
    And show you that I'm with.



    So, I'm back up in the game,
    (Running things like my swing),
    Lettin' all the people know,
    That I'm back to run the show,
    Cause what they didn't know was wrong,
    And all the nasty things you've done,
    So, baby, listen carefully,
    While I sing my comeback song.

    Sometimes you have to lose something to realize how much you miss it.

    This is a testament to how great of a GM Morey is. We were literally given Josh Smith for nothing, and theyre paying his contract.

    Don't know if this already got answered somewhere in the last 18 pages: Does this trade take up the remaining space under the hard cap? Does this mean no opportunity to sign a player cut at the March deadline (unless we make another trade before the trade deadline to shed salary)?

    why did he leave for the clippers then?

    At least now he is in the same boat as when he came here last year.

    Doc Rivers lied to him. Said he would have a defined role with the Clippers.

    There is suddenly a very high likelyhood that the Rockets offload Terrence Jones or someone else from the roster. And I have a feeling that the Rockets will make a right before Allstar weekend.
