PLAYA VISTA – After playing a part in the Clippers’ playoff departure last season, Josh Smith is trying to take the Clippers to levels they haven’t reached this year.
Smith, who played for the Rockets last season, had his choice of teams this offseason as he became a free agent. He saw the Clippers’ talent and believed the fit made sense, so he made Los Angeles his destination, saying in the team’s free-agent signing introductory press conference he wants to help do something historic for the franchise.
“I feel like we have the right pieces to do it,” Smith said.
