The Rockets nearly traded Jared Jeffries on Wednesday, according to a report from the Houston Chronicle.

Jeffries owns an expiring contract worth $7.4 million.

"Something will happen," Jeffries said. "Whether it happens now or at the trade deadline, I'll just stay ready and in shape. I think if I don't play, at some point I'll get traded and move on.

"The grass isn't always greener. You might go somewhere else and have not as good a situation, not as good a team, not as good a group of guys."
