Weather here is terrible. Some airports have cancelled all outgoing/incoming flights. I have been on the boards/working remotely all morning. I really he gets in Houston, in time. No need to "integrate" him. He hasn't played in some time so maybe just 15-20mins, but definitely play him. Rockets in 2016.
We need a BimaThug appearance to help sort this out. Does Smoove take us deeper into the lux tax? #1 I thought Lawson suspension games moved us further out from the lux tax. #2 Clippers are sending cash to cover Smith's contract. Switching subjects: MAN! Is it great to see a Codman cryptic post. Barack - Chicago, or DC? Hillary - DC? Wizards? Meek Mill - Philadelphia? Hinkie? Meek Mill's fav team is the Heat? Meek Mill just bought a house with Nicki Minaj in Hollywood / LA? Fire Sale.....Fire....The Heat?
Yes, acquiring Smith adds $947,276 to team salary. While the Clippers threw in enough cash to offset the actual PAYROLL obligations to Smith for the remainder of the season, it doesn't cover the additional luxury tax incurred by adding Smith's salary to the books. That'll run Les Alexander another $1.42 million. (The Dwight and Lawson suspensions each saved the Rockets a small amount under the cap, but the savings are collectively far less than Smith's additional salary.)
Barack is a likely a Chicago reference. Morey has been high on Mirotic since he was drafted.. Hillary is Codman's usual reference to Washington. But the cold feet part is intriguing to me. Wonder who Daryl is after there. I remember talks of Nene. Dudley? That would make Brew more expendable. Meek Mill was born in Philly. Nerlens? He'd be a good fit, just as a backup C. The dream scenario would be Okafor. But doubt that'll happen..

Sounds like Josh won't play tonight according to Feigen.. He also said JBB hinted at a front court starting lineup change. Showcasing Jones?

Heck, it worked with Lawson... Let's just 'showcase' everyone every night! But if Dwight is out, aren't we compelled to make a starting front court change? If there is hint of further change, perhaps it means Monstrez is starting?
