    1. We gave up nothing for him to return
    2. He is getting paid less than we would have paid him
    3. He will now be motivated to play and stick it to the Clippers organisation

    Win situation as far as I'm concerned - low level risk, medium level reward.

    This reeks of desperation.

    On another note, Sergei Lishouk's draft rights must be Morey's favorite trade asset. How many times has he traded him now?

    Watch this become a dud. We have too many problems that even Josh Smith cannot solve.

    Lol, getting a veteran at a position of need who thrived in your system for next to nothing? TOTAL desperation move.

    What a joke. Morey wanted to bring Smith back, but he took less because he thought he had a more defined role with LAC.

    Well he comes in as the best defensive PF on the roster and one of the best overall defenders on the team. I wasn't high on the Rockets getting Smith last season because I thought what happened in LA would happen here, but for whatever reason, it worked. Let's hope it can work again.

    DD is all in on Josh Smith??? The world is coming to an end, hell hath frozen over. Kiss your kids now.

    It took Morey long enough to get this trade done. Now sign Thibs already. JBB is to coaching like DD is to player evaluation. :grin:

    Morey throws the fan base a bone! lol

    Hopefully this is a move to lean toward getting D12 more shots with the Smoove alley-oops! :)

    It was all a plot by Morey, let Smith walk, get him back for cheap. Sounds like when he tried to get Jeremy Lin back for cheap......

    Never thought I would get bored watching the Rockets. I have fallen asleep watching many times now. I haven't missed a game though.
