Josh Smith has agreed to play for the Los Angeles Clippers, according to ESPN and multiple reports. ESPN’s Chris Broussard reports it is a one-year deal. A source told Broussard that Smith “chose winning and a defined role over money.” Smith played 55 games for the Houston Rockets last season after he was waived by the Detroit Pistons in December. Smith, 29, had previously said he wanted to return to the Rockets, expressing his desire to play for McHale and with Howard.
In an 11-year career with the Atlanta Hawks, Pistons and Rockets, Smith has averaged 15.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2 blocks and 1.3 steals in 33.6 minutes per game.
