Wow. I guess Monroe and Drummond's rebounding numbers are going up with all those clanked jumpers.

[therammingman]

stupid for both sides

[ZHAKIDD532]

Yeah I'm kind of confused. Is he playing the 3? Or is Drummond or Monroe coming off the bench?

[Grinder]

I guess Detroit is determined to lock themselves into 4 years of mediocrity.

Play him at the 4 and hurt Drummond's development; play him at the 3 and have no floor spacing and an anemic offensive lineup.

[KG215]

Well, at least now Rockets fans can quit assuming he's going to Houston.

This is such an odd move and makes almost no sense, but at least Smith got him a $14M/year deal. Good for him.

What's the point? Now the development of the combination of Monroe and Drummond is going to be slowed down unless J-Smoove plays SF

[MTing]

Why

[wlee43]

well there goes 4 years of losing for smith

[PJR]

Dumars has potentially a good thing going with the Monroe/Drummond Twin Towers, and now you want to bring in this low IQ player to retard the growth and development?

[PickernRoller]

56 Mill.......... a lot of money.

[hawkfan]

Bad move for both.

Smith should have gone to Houston, who should have moved Asik out to sign him. Smith fit well with Harden and Howard - his game complements their games.

Pistons get a guy who is going to get in the way of Drummond/Monroe. Not a good fit. Unless Drummond or Monroe are going to get moved.

[SilkkTheShocker]

For everything good Dumars does, he tends to do something really stupid afterwards.

[longtime lurker]

Dumars gonna Dumars. This move makes absolutely no sense, even though 14 mill a year for Josh Smith is a steal.
