No argument there. It's a great addition by the Rockets. But it fell right into their lap. Smith wanted to be here, especially with Dwight on the roster. All Morey had to do was lie to him about starting....errrr, express interest in signing him. The real test for Morey will be how he manages to retain Smith next season. Barring the guy taking a major pay cut, that'll take some maneuvering.

If Morey makes no move all we are going to hear on this bbs is how Portland and OKC got better and we didn't.
If Denver was willing to move Afflalo for that weak package, maybe they'll soften their stance on dealing Lawson.
Lopez was KILLIN Dwight from midrange when we played the Nets. On the other end Howard would deff. have it easier… but i think it'd be a nice pick up for them.
Here come the cliff jumpers again. :grin: ____________________________________ <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Knicks believe they have an outside shot at getting Goran Dragic for Hardaway/Calderon package, per source.</p>— David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) <a href="https://twitter.com/daldridgetnt/status/568447242606137345">February 19, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Portland's sending 2016 first-round lottery protected pick.
