    Good riddance, makes the comeback a lot less legendary though. Bolting to the team you had that great performance against? What about all that stuff that the Rockets and McHale did for his confidence and image?

    I ain't tripping about him leaving it is his choice after all. But for less money ? and we just came off the WCF?? thought he was super happy with our coach, his friends being here. hummmmm just bizzarre imo. Did our front office make him feel unwelcome? wtf

    Ur logic is error!
    Smith is gone, we can get better because we will have new replacement!
    Calm down, Morey has plans to improve the team

    atleast he knows he is the primary backup behind Blake. DAMN clippers got a good bench and rockets looking shabby right now. No upgrades at any postion and the secondary playmaker behind harden just went to clipper land SMH

    This off-season so far has been a step back. Morey needs to make some moves or this team has REGRESSED from last season, I know we get D-Mo and Bev. back but D-Mo is coming off a back surgery and Bev is quite possibly the worst PG in the western conf. I am quickly losing trust in Morey, if you're not getting better in the western conf. you're getting worse and so far barring some trades we just got worse, Marcus Thornton better not be the only move Morey makes this off-season...

    My issues with T-Jones are:

    1) His defense is weak.

    2) His effort game to game and even within the same game is inconsistent to say the least.

    3) His jumpshot is awful, especially the mechanics.

    4) He won't be with the Rockets beyond the 2015-16 season since they have to resign D-Mo and Dwight and are all but certain to make a run at Durant.

    Guys, it makes sense now...

    We let Smith walk because where probably about to make a huge splash signing

    Warmly welcome Mr.Booz

    Should add a poll to this thread: 1. Morey has something better up his sleeve vs 2. Time to Panic! vs 3. Meh

    We lost the guy that took us to the next level. This is a typical Morey season.

    This is a broken franchise. This team is parting really fast. Front office is garbagr. This cheap franchise will always be known for the 2 max players surrounded by trash cast.Meanwhile lets keep looking at euro players and short pf while the pg gap grows.

    forget the impact on our team

    WHY DID HE LEAVE LESS MONEY ON THE TABLE FOR NO REAL REASON?

    we're just as competitive as the Clips, we offered him 2.5mm and mchale him gelled

    WTF

    They can be reunited when we trade Dwight for DJ at the trade deadline.

    If Morey wanted him back he could have paid him the MLE and he would have stayed.

    Morey lowballed him with the vet's minimum so Smith accepted an offer from another team instead. Money was no longer an issue. Smith just wanted to get away from Morey.
