He should be getting closer... For weeks we've been hearing, "a couple weeks"...

He's our Draymond Green.

"back within a week"...


So maybe Friday @ Boston or Saturday @ Detroit?

Otherwise it's February 4th against Chicago at home.

Jones is smaller than Motie.. that's all I was saying. I'm hoping Terrence earns his starting spot back and gets the Rockets their mojo.

I seriously cannot wait for this dude to get back on the floor.

If Jones comes back and "picks up where he left off" I don't see how it wouldn't change things. I don't think Morey keeps Dmo, Jones, and Smith. The next few weeks should be very interesting.

I agree. Dmo is finally paying dividend for the Rockets. You don't mess with a good thing. Tjones will come off the bench(at least for the rest of the season) to try to get back into game shape. I wonder if Tjones' nerve issue will have any effect on his athleticism.

Jones will be fighting for his starting spot in a week. DMO can backup Dwight.

The Gentlemen thought he might play tonight and I guess Morey is supposed to be on the show, unless I missed it.

HOUSTON -- Dwight Howard could miss Houston's game against Dallas on Wednesday night after tweaking his injured right ankle in practice.

Howard missed Sunday's game after spraining his ankle Friday night. He started practice Tuesday, but left after turning his ankle in the workout.

"Hopefully I can play ... we'll see what happens (Wednesday)," Howard said.


Also Tuesday, forward Terrence Jones went through a full practice for the first time since he was injured, and coach Kevin McHale said he could play on Wednesday.

"If he feels good we'll try to get him some time," McHale said.

Jones hasn't played since Nov. 3 because of nerve inflammation in his left leg. He can't wait to get back in the lineup.

"It took a while but it's finally becoming a reality and I get to get back to myself," Jones said. "It's just going to be exciting."

The 23-year-old Jones was Houston's starting power forward all last season when he averaged 12.1 points and 6.9 rebounds. He had a good start to the season, too, averaging 14 points and 7.5 rebounds in four games.

"He had a really strong training camp and at the start of the season he was playing very well, was confident, moving very well, stronger," McHale said. "So right now it's getting a guy that can move right into your rotation, it's like making a trade. It's huge for our team."

His teammates are looking forward to his return as well, with NBA leading scorer James Harden raving about what he adds to the Rockets.

"It brings another dimension to the team," Harden said. "His scoring ability. He's so versatile, especially defensively and we've missed him for most of the season."

Jones is trying not to get too excited about playing until he knows for sure if he'll get to go on Wednesday, but he can't help but get a little pumped up about the possibility.

"I'm just happy to be back to the team and hopefully everything can go back to the way it was when I first started the season," he said.

Isn't Smith a 1 year rental? We can only offer him the MLE next year, so I'm sure he'll bolt to somewhere else. It would be silly to trade Jones or DMO right now unless Smith agrees to an extension.

I don't see Smith getting many offers for more than the MLE. He's still getting paid by Detroit anyway so money might not be a big factor for him signing somewhere.

I'm not so sure they'll be a lot of suitors that'll be willing to pay him much more then mle money or what his focus will be at seasons end.
Will he want to go to the highest bidder or would he take less money for a chance at winning? If the Rockets don't make any moves, would Smith be happy competing with Dmo and Jones for pt? By the end of this season, will the Rockets want Smith back? There are a lot of ways this could play out.

I hate to just assume guys will accept less money, especially since Smith bailed out on a better situation in Atlanta to go to the Pistons for more money. I think Smiths production levels is worth $4-5 million. Sacramento was going to trade bad contract for bad contract for him. I don't see why they wouldn't try to nab him for less this summer.

I agree, who knows what he's going to do, which is why Morey should stay put on Jones and Dmo until we know.
