Sources: Rockets looming as strongest suitor to sign Josh Smith (http://sports.yahoo.com/news/sources--rockets-looming-as-strongest-suitor-to-sign-josh-smith-193133772.html)

The Houston Rockets are emerging as the strongest suitor to sign forward Josh Smith, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

After the Detroit Pistons made the stunning move of releasing Smith, he's expected to clear waivers on Wednesday and become an unrestricted free agent. The Pistons owed Smith $26 million on his contract running through the 2016 season.

Houston has aggressively pursued Smith for the past two years, failing in the summer of 2013 to agree to a sign-and-trade agreement with Atlanta to acquire him. Before ultimately signing a four-year $56 million deal with Detroit, Smith had long had interest in finding a way to join the Rockets, sources said.

Houston briefly discussed trade possibilities with Detroit this season, but it was impossible for the Rockets to have absorbed his salary without giving up Dwight Howard or James Harden, sources said.

Howard is a childhood friend of Smith's, dating to their days growing up in Atlanta, and is a strong advocate of signing Smith. He'll be part of recruiting Smith to sign with the Rockets.

The Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento Kings, Dallas Mavericks and Miami Heat have already expressed an interest in signing Smith to Smith's representatives, league sources said.

Houston can use its biannual exception – worth $2.077 million annually – to lure Smith. Most teams with an interest in Smith, including the Clippers, Kings, Mavericks and Heat, can offer only the veteran's minimum of $1.4 million.

The Rockets want to utilize Smith's ability to block shots, rebound and pass as a unique complement at the power forward to Howard. Clearly, Smith's shot selection has to improve, but the Rockets are strong believers in the corner 3-point shot, especially with their ability to offensive rebound.

[ElNono]

Please make it happen

[lefty]

Harden, Smith and Dwert

Should be good

[benstanfield]

Beverley
Harden
Ariza
Smith
Howard

Four really good defenders plus one of the best isolation players in the league. All Smith has to do is play defense and stuff the stat sheet like he does, and he can chuck up 10 threes a night for all I care. Terrible shooting and shot selection are his only problems, but he mitigates Houstons weaknesses more than his shooting will drag them down tbh. Same with the Clippers.

Would be a great move for Houston, since it doesn't seem like Terrence Jones is returning, tbh..

They desperately need frontcourt depth..

Smith isn't a difference maker at his current age IMO(relies entirely on athleticism), but he's much better than anything else they could get in the frontcourt, and it moves Montejunas to the bench, where he will be one of the better bench bigs in the league..

The defense will be elite, although that offense is going to be hideous(Beverley, Ariza with his current shooting stroke, Smith and Dwight:lol)..

Dmo would have to most likely get included for a trade for Dragic

Or Terrence Jones. Doubt the Rockets would trade DMo for Dragic. Can't find many 7 footers with his post moves/game. You can find other Terrance Joneses. Smith would be a good pickup. He would play more like he did in Atlanta than Detroit. Would have much less chuck opportunities in Houston though, which is great.

I did say included, meaning a package deal for Dragic, not just Dmo straight up. Pelicans pick is fixing to be huge closer to end of the season when they are no longer in contention for the playoffs and they pack it in.

[Franklin]

agree, the combo and DH and Josh would be a crappy pair at the offensive end because they have little to none shooting range, but their interior D would be horrendous to any opposing team, the toughest since Ben/Sheed imho.

Yeah, with the New Orleans pick that sounds way more reasonable. I mean no way New Orleans is holding OKC off for long unless Durant reinjures his foot and is out the year. And even then I'm not sure I'd count Westbrook out.

Perfect fit for Houston, IMO.

Mainly because they can move Dontes to the bench which should give Houston's bench some punching power.

[sook]

Dmo >>> Jones now. The guy probably has the best post moves outside of Davis in the league. You're absolutely right about before though, nothing special...but these last 12 some odd games its clicked for him. Part of that can be credited to them playing to his strengths, posting up instead of forcing him to be a stretch 4. His transformation has been nothing short of amazing.

[BatManu20]

Done deal tbh.

ya. he would just stop chucking as soon as he got there. good point.

please don't sign this fool. He'll take time away from Dmo and is a big negative on offense.

So what should they do for a backup PF?

[jeebus]

Great pickup for the Lolckets. They need someone to spread the floor and he's it; he'll also take some of the strain off Harden and help jack up 3s. His inability to play defense anymore will also be a huge plus. Det 2nd round seed is all but locked up now.

Josh Smith would be a fine pick up under the right coach. Could be a good defender, rebounder, passer and scorer if he was in the right system. Not sure he's coachable now though, I haven't paid much attention to him since he's been pigeon holed into the "great dunker" category of useless players.

I will say that Houston is stronger now than when they had Yao and TMac, and that's saying something at least. If they could get JVG back, they'd be dangerous.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

As playoffs underachievers, we are in the same boat as fans. Let me get that out of the way. But Doc Rivers as GM is one of the biggest turds clogging the NBA drain right now.

If Smith is terrible then cut him..I agree on McHale. Bastards over there think he deserves an extension.

I think this is a solid pick up for them. If he can choose a better shot selection and play decent defense like he used to in Atlanta this will work out great

I doubt that he isn't motivated. He has never been on a team as good as this. The only teams that scare me in the first round are the Thunder (Durant the gawd) and Spurs (playoff Spurs). Not worried about any of the other teams really. If they don't make it past the 1st this year, then it's time to blow it up.

After losing to the Blazers last year, I wouldn't take anybody lightly. It's setting yourself up for disappointment.

They played no defense last year though. This year they do and no have three of the top 11 leaders in steals on the team and constant post defense (Aldridge would not bave gone off with this frontcourt).

I don't see how anyone can dislike this move for the Rockets tbh. They didn't give any of their players to get him and they didn't have to break the bank to get him either. If it doesn't work out they can cut him. Not really a high risk move.

[-21-]

This made me lol.


"It's an exciting time for me," Smith told FOX26 Sports. "Being able to be reunited with a good friend and one of the best teammates I ever played with, I think we can definitely do something special.


"Playing beside the best 2-guard in the game right now in James Harden, what more can you ask for."


"I think I can add to their toughness," Smith said. "I think I can add to their versatility at the 4 position, being able to pass the basketball and score the ball down low."


"Just add another basketball IQ, which will help when we make it to the postseason."

Corey Brewer trade looking like the one that's more bang for the buck

:lol barely beating Memphis without Randolph, and losing to the Spurs without Leonard..

Meanwhile, as CN said, Detroit is 2-0 without him..

Good signing for Houston, but it's amazing how much NBA fans overrate familiar names like Smith and Rondo..

:lol

Before Friday's game, the last time they played Memphis was a blowout by the Rockets and they were without Howard. Rockets have beaten the Spurs 5 or 6 straight times, it was about time the Spurs beat them imo. Detroit with one good win without him and the Rockets with one good game with him. It's like people were waiting for the bad game to say how bad/overrated the signing was. I cringe when he shoots though. Fuck the midrange. He needs to drive it in or catch and shoot the occasional corner 3. He still plays good defense.

Schedule loss tbh. The team that Josh Smith is on never wins in SA.

1-6 tonight with 4 TOs.

I think he's better coming off the bench.

I can't do that. I know I was here. If I go and get it then I'm shit. Somebody has to champion me.

GODDAMN RIGHT I WAS HERE. I don't even know how I did it. I was just sitting there and I got up like was on automatic, and walked thru the house and into the computer room, sat down and accounted for myself. I had no intention of doing it when I was sitting in front of that television. "Fuck 'em, no way am I going in there." Just got up at that point.

[sook]

called this shit...tbh when I learned he had been promised a starting spot. As a low cost move for the end of the bench ,..why not? But this is a neg.

You're the epitome of missing in action during the playoffs when your team isn't in it, Dale. You shouldn't throw stones when you live in a glass halfway house.

You lost by one point to a good team. No shame in that. 18 turnovers and losing by one point, that has to have some silver lining.

Did you watch the game? The entire 1st qrtr was "Give Josh time!" ...he played downright awful. Dmo is WAY better and it showed everytime he came in the game, and this wasn't even Dmo's good game. The team has been a complete mess since Smith has been starting.

You're not going anywhere if you don't get Josh Smith involved. Do you think the same team that lost to fucking Portland last year, a team we destroyed, improved so much in the offseason that they are now primed to win it all? Josh will either be good for them or he won't be. He played poorly, but it's not even the break yet, he's like what, 3 games in? Give it more time. Houston still needs pieces.

I was one of the biggest critics, but even I'll admit that if Lillard doesn't make that shot, we kick their ass at home G7. And yes, the team actually looked MUCH more complete with the way Dmo has been playing, Papa off the bench was good too , and now he doesn't get any minutes. Harden pushed his game to another level this year (both ends), and the Brewer addition has been a blessing . Losing Parsons was big, but if we gain Brewer with Ariza...I'd take that. Building a team with depth instead of "big names" is crucial and the key to winning, the spurs of all people know that.

You think we wouldn't take a Josh Smith if one would ever accidently end up in SA? We would. We don't get anything like that so we make due with people who don't know anything about the markets in the NBA, mostly foreigners and D-leaguers.

[Clipper Nation]

1-6, 3 points. Clearly J:lolsh Smith is the cornerstone who will propel the Rockets to title contention.

Deems, you don't want too many egos, especially when they are unjustified.

[Mal]

You really except that Pistons fired good player, paying him almost 30 mil for not playing and then started winning again ? I liked him to Spurs as low cost, low risk, high reward player of bench.
