T-Jones ain't trade bait anymore unless Harrell cracks the rotation immediately. That's actually the worst part of this. We'll miss Smith badly, but it also means we're stuck with T-Jones now since we need a reliable backup at the 4. Morey botched this one badly.

Not upset at all. When he played well it was great, but so many times when he was bad he was destructive to the success of the team. Never go full josh smith

Sick of the Rockets taking steps back in the offseason. We are well behind SAS, LAC, and GS at this point.
I won't make too big a deal of it, but when even Josh Smith won't choose Houston.... Pay attention to Dwight, Daryl Morey. He might've whispered future intentions to his buddy Smoove.
Guess they figured they would bring in the guy who single handedly ruin their season. But to those who ask why, I ask the same thing...he resurrected his career here...found himself so to speak...because of the Rockets and McHale's laid back "dont be afraid to shoot" style. I wonder if there was something other than money that made the decision for him.
The Clippers are actually a great fit for him as well, at least offensively. Just shocked he didn't want to stay with Dwight.

Lateral move for Smoove. Even if he gets slightly more money As laughable as the Kings are, he'd be better there trying to create a winning culture. Something he failed to do in Detroit, but would still make sense rather than blending in

It's not a lateral move. The Clippers are easily better than us at this point with their upgrades this offseason.
This is stupid. Very disappointing offseason from Morey for letting this team regress. Now we get to watch Terrence Jones pretend to play basketball again.
