Jimmy Smith and Fletch don't like the move. Russ Smith will be a future HOFer. Book it

Its a good swap. Russ smith can actually guard people, unlike Jackson or Roberts.

maybe instead of shitting on the move, Jimmy should start speculating to what the move means. he's such a fricking awful journalist.

Russ Smith is literally the exact same player as Jackson

This is confusing to me

Russ Smith actually plays defense unlike Jackson. I really think we screwed up not bringing PJ onto the team last year and putting Roberts out there to jack up stupid shots and play no d.

Hahaha. I will take Russ Smith over Jackson all day, all week, all month, all year, all decade. A proven winner and a gamer vs some guy who proved that he has no problem throwing up 25 shots a game in the D-League.

4 inches might be the difference in being in the NBA and being a D-league All-star.

Pierre Jackson proved to be a whining egotistical shoot first, ask questions later player last season.

Sounds like the guy we want.

Sorry made the d league all star team. Averaged like 25 per game and ended up leaving to go over seas and didn't finish the season. Pretty sure he would have been an all d leaguer. Was he not top 5 in ppg. I know he wNent for 58 in a game. Regardless hopefully we'll be making other moves and getting rid of some of out other guards.

Damn wish we coulda gave Pierre a chance before dumping him. Also wish we would make a more significant move. Guess we'll have to in free agency.

If Roberts walks and Rivers gets traded for the Asik cap hit, then there would be a role for Russ. I like it.

Still need a 3...
