    Josh Smith to the Clippers, I thought he and Howard were best buds. Why did he not go back to the Rockets?

    Maybe he thought the Clippers were closer to contention than the Rockets are.

    The Rockets didn't offer him the MLE they had available. Ouch. That has to piss Dwight off

    See the post right below yours. If they used their MLE on Smith, they wouldn't have it available for McDaniels. Seems like the Rockets made a choice between the two.

    Wow, the Clippers are going to be even tougher.

    So many potentially great teams in the West. Warriors, Spurs, Thunder and Clippers are all going to win near 60 games if healthy.

    Probably at some things. But McHale did out coach him in the playoffs. Took a team with a lot of injuries and beat the Clips who I thought had better talent.

    The Clippers are just loaded with players......who I can't stand. They will definitely be in the running for the most hated team in the league.

    But if I am a Clipper fan I would be happy.

    Wow if the rockets want to win, choosing KJ over J-Smoove would be a horrible start. It's not like J-Smoove lit the fire for a 3 game comeback or anything....

    Looks like CLE might be talking to POR about taking on Haywood's non-guaranteed deal (plus give us a 2nd rounder I would assume) so that we give them a big TPE (Traded Player Exception) in return.

    So about the 58th pick in the draft (Give or take about 2 spots) :angel::ghoti:

    Cleveland has 2nd round picks from 2 other teams due in the next two years. I would ask for both although they are #31-55 protected like the pick for traded for Harkless. Since we would be doing them a huge favor and none of those picks are Cleveland's anyhow, I would actually want something else as well.. Wouldn't it be ironic if the Cavs use the TPE to get someone who makes a difference in their win over SA in the Finals. :cheers:
