    There is a guy called Randall Morris in Beijing as well (Beijing Ducks, Marbury's team).

    Maybe they signed him to recruit DMo. They played well together.

    The CBA has become quite the retirement home for folks.

    I liked JSmoove a lot but his athleticism was declining. He needed to drop a few pounds, he was bigger physically in Houston but it came at losing mobility and his explosion. I would have loved to take a flyer on him this season. This offense seems suited for his strengths, but only if he came in tip top shape. I was surprised he hadn't been signed with any team yet, but I wish him the best overseas. The team definitely could use his rebounding and shot blocking thats for sure.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but don't Rockets players frequently launch long 3's from different areas of Houston?

    Replacing key player Mike Harris. He should do well.

    Yeah, before I saw that report on Mike Harris being injured I was wondering how they were getting around the two foreign players per team rule.

    if he's not washed up, he wouldn't be playing in China.

    What happened? I guess I wasn't paying attention but did Josh and Dwight have a falling out?

    Good for him. He's going to have some great games over there. He is still a serviceable NBA player if he plays within his limits.

    True, he would be much more suited to this year's team compared to last year because his strengths are Ryan Anderson's weaknesses (and vice versa), so they would be great foils. And the movement on offense would suit him for cuts and alley oops. He would be the PF version of SF KJ McDaniels.

    I will always remember the 2014-2015 Smoove season. It remains amazing. It remains hilarious. It remains awesome.
