This move is seen as a way to deepen their guard rotation and reunite Smart with former coach Ime Udoka. Following a disappointing 2025-26 season that saw the Rockets exit early from the postseason, they are considering several roster changes this summer to enhance their competitiveness in the Western Conference. Smart, who has Texas roots, played 62 games for the Los Angeles Lakers last season, averaging 9.3 points, 3.0 assists, and 1.4 steals.
