The Houston Rockets are expected to be interested in Marcus Smart, according to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.

Smart, who declined his player option with the Lakers, is also expected to draw interest from several teams around the league.

The Rockets are also exploring the trade market for Dorian Finney-Smith. Finney-Smith has three years left on his deal, although the last two years are not guaranteed.

The team remain hopeful of keeping restricted free agent Tari Eason.
