    Screw it! I'm glad he's back. He knows he never should have left. I don't know why he was ever worried about Dmo or Tjones taking too many minutes from him rofl

    We were excited last year when we acquired him and the season wasnt swirling.

    I am excited to see his defense. Maybe this will get these guys to play better team defense. It def wont hurt

    He's going to help a lot more than people expect.

    Not because he's this great amazing player...but because he doesn't clog the paint.

    This is why the Rockets still did so well when Howard went out and Dmo took his place. Just because Dmo could stand out of the way and not clog the paint.

    Smith will chuck up his 3s and it's whatever, the important thing is he gets out of the way for Harden.

    Also that he can catch a basketball and finish, something that Capela has problems doing.

    YEah, Dmo will be back by All-Star break at latest, Tjones will be shipped out soon. Believe that!

    Jones is likely gone. Smith provides the versatility of ball handling and passing(even better so) jones provides offensively for a fraction of the cost. While he may be a lesser offensive player he is a muuucccchhhh better defender.

    So now we have upgraded our frontcourt defense which I think is going to pay real dividends. Smith understands how to rotate when Dwight goes to thwart a shot not to mention he himself can rotate over to thwart shots.

    Seems like a yawn that's it? Type of move but I bet it pays off pretty decently. The added chemistry cannot be a bad thing either.

    Solid move

    Its a low risk potentially high reward move, i hope it is done with the foresight of moving Jones. I would hate Harrell to totally disappear as a result of this. I loved having josh last year though

    And he won't look slackjawed and clueless on defense, an even bigger point.
