Smith will sign with the Rockets once he has cleared waivers, Fox 26 in Houston reports. Smith was apparently promised a starting spot in Houston, and will reportedly sign a one-year contract at a pro-rated portion of the bi-annual exception. The Rockets were in need of a power forward with Terrence Jones out indefinitely, and it appears Smith will likely fill that void. Donatas Motiejunas will likely see his minutes impacted most by the expected addition.
