Does this make any sense?
Next:
Hornets waive Lance Stephenson.
IN-CRE-DI-BLE
0 chances to bid on Josh Smith?
Anyone else have a terrible sense that Dell is looking into this?
PELICANS PLEASE SIGN HIM TO SF. AD ASIK SMITH on D omg
Josh Smith at the 3 would be a great addition BUT if Josh don't make 3's, BUT.... we need 3's.... BUT.... NO JOSH HERE :(
We shoud do the same with gordon
ASIK
AD
Smith
Gordon
Drue
Bench:
Rivers
Reke
Anderson
Bench goes from being weak to above average to good
Holy crap he still had 3yr/40m on his contract.
We can't offer him more than vet minimum but he is already getting 13.5m. The question is, does he consider us enough of a playoff contender to come here? I dunno.
Strange. Not sure why you would do this mid-season unless he was really just awful in the locker room.
We can only offer him the minimum, right? So there's no chance he would entertain coming here over a contender.
I'm guessing he signs a deal for the rest of the season, then does FA again in the summer? He would be a very interesting MLE target.
If he clears waivers, what's the chance a small bidding war erupts for him? My guess is he returns to Atlanta or goes to Houston and teams up with his old HS buddy Dwight Howard.
Only way I take him is on a minimum deal -which is all we can offer. Even then, we have our version in Dante, and he's been much much better. Dude is automatic from midrange while Josh Smith is a brick layer.
Very low chance Dell makes a serious push for him and very low chance he would choose here.
Dallas makes ALOT of sense and can play him at more PF where he is at his best. Clippers also make sense.
I'd put our odds at 0.1%.
Would be fun for blocks with Ad, but it would be an nba2k starting five.
Reke/ Smith would be very very terrible for spacing.
I can see him going to Huston
Anyone that wants Josh Smith doesn't watch basketball. He is a bum.
Please Houston!
That way 2 of our division rivals will have sacrificed their teams for 2 players that USED to be great but are now.
.........meh.
Amazing.
#Pistons stood 30-feet from Josh Smith when they released him.

Marc stein is reporting the 2 front runners are Kings and Mavs. No need to even discuss josh smith bc it will absolutely never happen under any circumstances or scenario. Better shot at aquring Michael Beasley or Tracy Mcgrady at this point.
Houston has an interest in signing Josh Smith, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

And my dreams are coming true.
Why would SVG not have done this?
Kings original offers to Detroit in June featured Jason Thompson/Derrick Williams. Subsequent pitches involved Landry subbed in for Williams

Yall are being ridiculous. If we have a chance to get Josh Smith, we should get him.
At anything $5m or less, at the very least he's a trade asset next year. Fit is important, but he's too talented to simply pass on. He'd instantly upgrade our bench, or be a better starter than Babbitt. Offensively our team is fine. This guy upgrades our defense significantly.
I think he goes to Kings. Don't really see the fit in Dallas. Are there a lot of minutes backing up Dirk and Parsons? Rockets are a better fit. He'd start at PF. Has a relationship with Dwight.
I wouldn't judge this guy on his play with Pistons. They're a dumpster fire.
People criticize the Pistons for playing Smith at SF. He gets released. The first thing I see here is someone suggesting we pick him up to play SF... Go figure... Sometimes I fool myself things like this are just on purpose, and we can call ourselves and educated fanbase, that makes pertinent comments...
He's a PF that needs the ball in his hands and gets frustrated easily. How in the world he fits here? Are we short on PFs? Are we short on players that need the ball in their hands? Do we need defense? Sure, but makes zero sense to get in a bidding war for Smith, and if he's not accepting a bench role in which he won't likely see more than 20 minutes per game, he's not going to be useful here, because that's what we got to offer him...
That's my point of view, feel free to tell me yours..
We already have the world's greatest Power Forward.
Sacramento looking at Derron Williams AND Josh Smith.
That would be hilarious.
I don't watch him play much, but from what I read he has a low BBIQ, won't adapt his game to fit the team concept, and can't make outside shots. We already complain about Tyreke for the same reasons to a much lesser degree. Therefore, no.
Josh Smith:
Pros: Great athlete the likes we don't have short of AD. Excellent defender and rebounder.
Cons: A terrible shooter that takes shots like a great shooter. Horrible from the FT line. And a tweener without a real position. Basically a bigger, bulkier, slightly less brain dead Aminu.
He can be someone else's issue.
Houston's aggressively pursuing Smith, sources say. Rockets-Smith had strong mutual interest 'in 13, but couldn't get sign-and-trade done.

Can we not? Attachment 5831
I saw this trending on FB and I just knew a thread was started here. I'll make this short.....We Don't Need Him. He would either be out of position playing SF or he would take all of Anderson's minutes (unless you think we should trade anderson to make room for this guy which is a joke). Or is he gonna come off the bench and be a backup SF which is still not all that great. We don't need him.
Does anyone know what is going on with Gordon?
The best part about this is it shows how awful of a GM Dumars is so keep him away from this team
No one wants to kick some tires? Weird.
I would bring Stemsma back before getting Smith
Actually, I don't think he'd be a bad fit with Ryno and Davis on the floor. He could defend opposing 3s on defense and play the PF role offensively. Let Ryno play the 3 offensively and guard opposing 4s. It works out. and if we could get him at $4 mil/year, that would be great value. At the very least, he is a trade asset if we go after Durant next offseason.
Was he stretched?
Pistons will use stretch provision on remaining $26 million of Josh Smith's contract, league source tells Yahoo. This gives some cap relief.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) 22 december 2014
Yes. Apparently so. News seems to be they will pay his full amount this year and then stretch his 2yr/26m. He will count for just over 5m/yr for the next 5 years. This all changes some whenever he signs with another team as that will mitigate some of Detroit's cost but who knows to what extent.
