Thought the Rockets might be able to do a sign and trade for him. The Pistons will still suck with him. Should have kept their money, and stayed with the youth movement.

J Smoove with an outrageous contract. Joe D still solidifying himself as the worst GM in the league. 4 years $54mil?

As a Thunder fan, I was slightly concerned HOU would land Howard and Smith. With Harden, they would've been the favorite to win the West next year. But with just Howard and Harden Ain't nobody worried about these Rockets

If he stops shooting threes and just attack the rim he's one of the best pfComment -
NBA defenses have become as close to zone as you can get without triggering a defensive 3 seconds. There has never been as big of demand for perimeter shooters as there is now, and the Pistons chose NOW to become a run/jump/dunk team? At least they didn't double-fk themselves like they did with Charlie V and Ben Gordon. Then again they might still let the Celtics viciously gouge them for Rondo.Comment -
Misery loves company. Pistons are losers and so is Josh Smith.Comment -

Hawks are the big winners today. They let JSmoove walk and sign Paul Milsap to a 2 year deal. Good move for Atlanta IMO.Comment -
What on earth has happen to Joe Dumars? this guy built the 2004 title team with his bare hands. Used to make some of the most shrewd decisions in the NBA...Smith is a good player but 54 mill? Jesus...Comment -

Pistons have a top 5 front line in the NBA. Monroe is the 4th best center in the NBA. Josh smith is a top 5-7 PF. Drummond is going to be good next year. Good for 8 points 9 boards 2 blocks off the bench..Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
monroe is the best player on the pistons. easily.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
The man known as J-Smoove is shooting only 46 percent from the field in 2012-13, just under his career shooting average of 46.4 percent. That's solid, but not spectacular for a player expected to take most of his shots within the three-point arc. He's also attempting 2.4 three-pointers per game in 2012-13 despite being a 28.8 percent career shooter from deep.
The mid- to long-range jump shot should prove to be Smith's undoing for any team considering offering him a max deal.
Roughly one-third of Smith's field-goal attempts in 2012-13 have come from 15 to 24 feet (250 out of 756), according to NBA.com, despite him only hitting 32 percent from that range.
Enjoy the mid-range sea of yellow and red? That means "bad."
That's not a one-year anomaly, either. In 2011-12, nearly 43 percent of Smith's field-goal attempts (470-of-1,191) came from 15 to 24 feet, according to NBA.com. He only knocked down 169 of those 470 shots, just shy of 36 percent.
In 2010-11, over 38 percent of his field-goal attempts (400-of-1,041) came from that range, according to NBA.com, with him knocking down a surprisingly solid 39 percent (157-of-400) of those shots.
Smith has long had a penchant for his jumper, despite the now-common knowledge that long two-point attempts are the most inefficient shot in basketball in terms of percentages.Comment -
josh smith won't lead the pistons. monroe is the best player on the team. brandon knight is turning into a good pick after all. 6'3 6'4 and long, athletic pg. needs to play the point this year. can't be playing 2 guard. the pistons are gonna be a surprise team this year depending on what they do with those other garbage guys like charlie v cory maggette stuckey etc.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
Pistons playoff team guaranteedComment
