    Yes, indeed. He deserves a lot of credit for that. Unfortunately, he was extremely inconsistent after that. I'm glad DM got Lou to replace him.

    Probably J.R. to the Rockets. That won't help the team out at all, and lead to bad chemistry too.

    Daryl Morey was a Executive of the Year Last Year. Making Bone Head Decisions after another.
    Hey I will pay you a 1st Rd Picks to take our Players away.
    Daryl needs to be let go, somebody can do better especially knowing how to draft in the 1st Round.
    Throwing away a 1st Round pick which will be a lottery pick just to get under the Luxury Tax.
    The Rockets look a lot like the Mavericks the last 5 years, overpaying salaries and having terrible role players.

    JR “soup” Smith makes perfect sense... great influence on Harden and company. Hopefully he doesn’t kill anyone driving or sexually harass anyone if he joins the Rockets... count down to PJ Tucker punches a hole in his neck.

    That basically summarizes the last 20 years of JR Smith.

    id welcome him at this point.

    i also just want to add, its really a shame the way JR gets the blame for that cavs game 1 loss in the finals. just because he didnt jack up a shot at that moment that probably would not have gone in anyway. because of that no one mentions the despicable officiating down the stretch in that game that screwed cavs far worse than the JR. its almost like the poor officiating the rockets got in game 7 last year. but because we missed a bunch of threes, i guess that means you dont deserve to get correct calls.

    The end times are soon

    Although compared to our bench now he still slightly helps. Which just shows how terrible our bench is

    its important to use knight's salary to add a high priced (hopefully not overpaid) player. if we just dump it for tax savings we will only be able to add MLE players.

    so option 1 is to acquire JR who is basically NG which provides a more tradable asset at the deadline. he may or may not ever play for us.

    if we can't trade him for anything good at the deadline we waive him and get under the tax. if we lotto protect the pick needed to acquire him its a win win.

    I've already quit watching. If we trade for this moron, I can just stop being a fan until it's gone. Honestly, I could use the time off.

    This will be the first time in my life a move will make me question my fandom.

    JR Smith is a POS of the highest order, not to mention an idiot. This would be a revolting development in an already awful season.
