    “Significant opportunity in the Rockets backcourt”

    CF: He’s coming to play the Okogie/Tate/Holiday role, be the 10th man

    :D

    He burns us on a fluke 3 point extravaganza and a former Ime player so we knew this was coming. Love me some 3 on 5 sets

    He’s starting. Fvv knee jacked to hell. Cheap deal at least. @Bobbythegreat

    Our new starting PG ladies and gentlemen. Fred's knee is cooked and he's likely gone.

    A couple of drops in the ocean. BB and MC along with FVV. I don’t expect anything else in this offseason.

    Maybe we've seen the end of the FVV + Sheppard backcourt pairing. Putting Smart on the court with either of them at least gives you more of a fighting defensive chance.

    The Smart +Sheppard pairing also takes a lot off Reed's shoulders in terms of dribbling.

    Good deal. Not sure why people dislike this. I get why some people want more moves, but this is a “smart’ signing.

    I fully expect him to start despite the fact that he hasn't been any good in 5 years

    Only 2 years...I can live with that.
    I wonder who we target with FVV + picks.

    At least he won't look like a deer in headlights running the pick and roll. Smart is someone you get at the tradeline or the day after you receive tragic news,before training camp, about your starting pg. He shouldn't be the main guy you center the offseason around.

    2 years 13 mil is a nice deal. I can dig it. Stone playing it safe as always.
