Smith was a FA that McHale didn't have enough money under the cap to offer a competitive deal to. So he did some under-the-table deal that involved a tiny salary this year with a promise to pay him next year. The NBA found out and the Wolves were penalized by having their first round draft picks taken from them for a number of years.
I think the flipside of this is that we don't know if the farm system sucks because scouting was bad or if the organization simply did a bad job developing what could have been good players.
Actually, there wasn't a press conference at all. The reporter from 610 who was there said, "It's misleading to call this a press conference. They just told us they'd make themselves available to the media. So they opened up their offices...they didn't have the formal presentation of a press conference with an announcement made. They simply answered questions." 610 was the one that said, "Press conference at 4p.m.!!!" Not the Astros.
Im still mad about the mexican food comment Ensberg made... Pappas + El Tiempo >>>>>> San Diego mexican food
Ensberg, quite a debut. 3-4 with 2 HRs. I am beginning to think there is something wrong with the Astros clubhouse, where the joy of playing ball is just not there. DD
lol Really think about this for a second guys. 4 RBI, 2 HR in an 11-0 rout. Off of a guy named Petit and Nipper. Let's worry about this later in the year. Beyond that, way to go MO.
