    Yes, we need a guy that is just crazy enough for Harden to fear.

    Ok, better PF than TJones - and Capella - but not better than DMo.

    Low risk move.

    [rQUOTEr]Several Rockets players were eager for the the team to bring back Smith, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

    After losing Smith to the Clippers in free agency in July, his inability to find a role with Los Angeles made him expendable almost immediately.

    Smith had regret over leaving the Rockets, where he had found a significant role in the team’s run to the Western Conference Finals last season. Smith signed a one-year deal with the Clippers for the league minimum, but never meshed with coach Doc Rivers.

    The Clippers will send cash to cover the remaining $460,000 on Smith’s $1.4 million minimum salary this season and the draft rights to Serhiy Lischuk. Houston sends the Clippers the rights to Maarty Leunen. Neither player is expected to play in the NBA.

    Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back!

    I like this move. The intangibles and heart that this guy brings is gonna help oh so much. We need his hustle and toughness in the worst way. Let's get it!

    I've never really thought of Smoove as a "hustle" guy, however his passing and defense have been sorely missed this season.

    You cannot make this **** up...for comedy reasons I like the move. As soon as he starts jacking up threes like Harden, I will surely hate it, but better than any other PF we have. Should've done it before last Clippers game, now there's only 16 march left which is on ESPN so going to be some fun.

    This makes no sense at all. Why didn't you just bring him back from the beginning. What a joke.
