    I would've traded Lowry before Ish.

    Scoring PG's are a dime a dozen, but not the passing of Ish.

    Would've loved to have Goran and Ish together. Goran isn't a great passer though.

    We could have got Perkins and instead traded away Ish, not a good day for the Rockets, the Celts wanted Battier, he should have been traded to a team that had a real chance at being a winner and we NEED a center.

    I very much doubt that Ish was dealt to Memphis. All other sites report Battier for Thabeet and a first-rounder.

    No, but occasionally everyone suffers from tiffs of temporary insanity...

    why soo sad to see someone who doesn't play leave? Ish is probably happy.

    Dragic is now our backup.

    It changes every minute (the web content at the link).

    When I posted it, I swear Ish was included for Thabeet (!) Weird.

    Ok I can live with the Brooks trade, Dragic can be a beast from what I've seen. My heart sunk when I saw Hasheem was the player we got right after i saw that Perkins was available. So we lost Shane and now I saw on ESPN Ish was included in the deal. Frickin worst trade of the season. At least Battier and Ish might see the playoffs this season.

    Unless Hasheem gets a wake up can and transforms into the Dream once he puts that Rockets uniform on, lol.

    No one wants to deal with Houston for marquee players due to Morey's reputation around the GM circle. So we resort to trading... Bench players... :eek:

    I'm not crying, but I'm damn straight disappointed that we traded him.

    Undrafted rookie or not, he has elite vision and passing skills and you can't teach that. If he's able to ever find a consistent shot, I'm mulling over if trading him so soon was a good idea for the Rockets.

    I will come out and say it, Ish Smith is the best player to be dealt to the Rockets OR away from the Rockets today.


    Best: The player with the most value to a team from this day forward.

    you know, of all the players gone..he's the one I was most eerked about losing. I mean sure Battier, but we have to let that bird spread it's wings and fly (go win a championship somewhere).

    Ish has alot of potential and def was the best pure PG we had. He had some sick assists in his short times he got to play.

    smh

    Prob not more than Brooks or Dragic, but what drives me crazy is, yes, more than Thabeet at this point.

    The Chron article doesn't say anything about Ish anymore...

    Doesn't anyone have Ish's twitter or something?

    I'm not too disappointed he's gone, I'm more excited about Dragic.
