Josh Smith agrees to join Houston Rockets

Josh Smith is close to securing a deal that will see him feature for NBA side, Houston Rockets.

The 29 year-old, who has just been released by the Detroits, is certainly excited at the prospect of being able to play alongside his close friend and former AAU teammate, Dwight Howard

“It’s an exciting time for me,” said Smith.

“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 two-guard in the game right now in James Harden, what more can you ask for.”

As far as this season is concerned, Smith has been averaging about 13.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.

Rumor has it that the 29 year-old was contemplating between a move to Houston or Miami, though it appears that he opted for a move to Houston since they would be able to assure him of a starting spot in most games.
