As the deadline in February approaches, the trade rumors are starting to heat up. And Stephen A. Smith just threw some wood on that fire. On the popular ESPN show First Take, Smith said that DeAndre Jordan wants to leave Los Angeles and play for the Rockets, according to his sources.
Now, this is the same Stephen A. Smith who claimed that LeBron James wanted to fight Kyrie Irving for requesting a trade from the Cavs over the summer. That report was almost certainly false, or at least taken out of context, so we’re going to take anything he says with a grain of salt.
