Josh Smith will apparently meet with the Houston Rockets today to discuss the possibility of joining their franchise, which is also pursuing Smith’s childhood friend, Dwight Howard, according to NBA.com.
One has to wonder if the organization is trying to assemble their own big three, which could possibly be Howard, Smith and the current Rockets player James Harden. The franchise reportedly had a good meeting with Howard, and is moving forward with finding pieces to compliment the free agent center. By way of explanation, the Houston Rockets is upbeat enough to where they have started chasing other players who would make a good fit with Howard.
According to Yahoo! Sports, Smith, who most recently played for Atlanta Hawks, has other teams seeking him as well. He already met with the Detroit Pistons just shortly after the free agency clock started, in which the general manager Joe Dumars considered him a top choice.
