Talked about the smoot deal... mentioned that its not fair to other players on the team to offer a bigger contract to a guy that hasn't played ass well (he was more diplomatic)... Basically that because of how well springs played with a $10mill bonus, they didn't want to imply that they thought smoot was more valuable and that bowing down and handing out big contracts sends a bad message to the rest of the team.

Isn't that how free agency works? One guy gets a contract, then someone who may not be as good gets more because of market value? Letting Smoot walk would be a mistake in my opinion.
