Real Deal

Yeah, I've got the same search up for YT, haha. Not sure where else i could even look. Thanks.

Did anyone DVR it earlier? Or, do you know if it's possible for me to go back and watch it? They had my tweet up on there, and I didn't catch any of it.

Sadly, I'm sure some team will want to overpay Smith...but I don't see why he would want to go play for one of those teams, though, since they would likely be bottom-feeders just desperate for his services.

I realize Houston could get Smith in the offseason, despite what happens before the deadline...but it seems to me like it would be a better idea to actually trade for him now (at the current check he's sittting on), and then lure Dwight over while giving Smith an incentive to sign for a bit less than the max as well. Smith could take less if it means Dwight comes to Houston, and no matter what, Dwight is more likely to come to Houston if they have Smith already on deck (even if the possibility is slim, it would help if they did have him).

With things looking rocky for Dwight in LA, and Atlanta basically throwing Josh Smith's name out there after declining his extension, what are the chances Houston puts their roster up for grabs, aside from Harden, to land Smith and, eventually, lure Howard to come to Houston in the offseason? Money would be tight, and they'd have to lose significant pieces now (and likely overpay Smith in the offseason), but do you think they'll shoot for it? C - Howard PF - Smith SF - SG - Harden PG - Hard to say who would fill those two spots, just in case they are asked to send out Parsons or Lin in this trade to get Smith...but that's an interesting trio, to say the least.

Here's the second half of the manifesto: EDIT: Maybe. Now I'm reading that this second half was all added by someone else, so hold up! First half (in the first post) is accurate, though.

Never heard that there was a limit...but yeah, I don't see why he made this choice, either. He's one of those guys that could knock down 18 threes...or just eight, kind of like what we saw from Steve Nash one year. Now, give Kyrie a couple of dribbles in between every shot, and maybe he wins it...but a "set-shoot" method, and using a ball rack? I don't know.

You guys have to read what all he wrote. It's pretty crazy, especially the second half, when he starts describing his plans. Full manifesto, first half:
