    I don't know, man, Chris Paul is a better shooter but Smith is definitely a better point guard. :)

    No way I include Ish in a deal for Paul. You think Paul could net the Rockets 8 assists in a preseason game?! Doubtful. Plus having Ish may lure some big name FA's. :p

    as DD would say, think of the cost!

    would you rather have Ish at half a mil, or paul for 34X more than that!? I'm not sure that paul can put up 34X the points, assists, and steals that Ish will get.

    Besides if you have 34 Ish Smiths, you can trade some of them for help at the other positions. Can probably even give a couple of them to Aaron Brooks to be kept as pets or domestic servants in lieu of salary in his next contract.

    With the one Chris Paul, you have just one of him. It's not nearly as flexible.

    (By the way, I replied to your email re: international teaching opportunities. Hope the ISS website helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.)

    I am actually going to move them to Houston. They'd play in the Summit or Astrodome.

    Perhaps we could use a few of the expendable Ish Smith's and dismantle them offering some knee and feet transplants for yao. If Ish Smith clones are matching donors.
