Josh Smith to Detroit - 4 years, $56M

[CTulc]

My gut tells me Monroe is going to the Celtics and Pistons end up with Rondo/Smith/Drummond

[DuMa]

pistons staying mediorce

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

Josh Smith to Detroit?

BREAKING NEWS: Dwight changes his mind again.

Well, Charlie V & Stuckey coming off the books after this season. They will have a crap ton of cap space even with this signing.... they could do something in 2014 I guess lol.

My standard response:



Who else was competing for him? lol....why so much? why so serious? why ask why?

[Done_And_Done]

Was Dumars really the brain power behind the Pistons run in the mid 2000's because some of his signings in the recent past tell me otherwise.

Perhaps they're going for a rotation of Smith - Drummond - Monroe at the PF/C position with Smith getting a little small forward minutes as well when the matchup is favorable. Easily 32+ minutes for everybody.

Drummond and a first round pick plus expirers for Rondo makes sense for Boston and Detroit.

Rondo-Smith-Monroe is a solid Big 3 and they would still have some cap space for Monta Ellis or AK47.

Otherwise, this is a stupid move for the Pistons.

OMFG, please please please do this, Danny!

Had a strong feeling Smith with a take a contract with a team like this. Doesn't seem like a "take less to go to a contender or stacked team" type... Most in the thread don't like it (completely understandable given JS's ceiling), and I doubt Pistons fans are enamored but it, but I think it can work to an extent.

The Hawks could use Stuckey, so the Pistons can send him to Atlanta in a sign and trade.

[longtime lurker]

Considering Josh Smith was looking for a max contract and guys like Rudy Gay is making 17 million this year and 19 million next year yes it's a steal for what Smith brings defensively and on the offensive end.
