While teams are lining up for the services of Josh Smith, the Houston Rockets believe they almost have him in the bag.
Josh Smith won't clear waivers until 5 pm ET tomorrow, but Rockets still very confident he'll come their way. Next game Friday v. Memphis.

Josh Smith and Dwight Howard have been trying to team up ever since Dwight was in Orlando. The two are childhood friends, both growing up in Atlanta and were AAU teammates.
A lot of people are writing off Smith and it’s very understandable, but I feel if you put Smith on a team with championship aspirations like Houston, you’ll see a much more efficient player. My main problem with Smith is that he should never shoot threes. Put him at the power forward position and let him operate within 15-feet.
