Pistons sign Josh Smith

Apparently they will seriously start him at the 3.

Their fans are not happy and are scared a Monroe or Drummond trade for Rondo is next.

 

YES!
can we have monroe, plz?

 

Oh wow.

 

Wow, he should have taken less and played here.

 

josh smith doesn't care about wining he plays for a check and to finish games with a decent stat line.

i feel sorry for hardcore pistons fans.

 

That is a lot of money for Josh Smith!

 

Hahaha another team where Josh Smith can do whatever he wants and not be held accountable. Dumars is pretty stupid as a GM for the great player he was.

 

Wow!!! Josh Smith doesn't deserve that much money

 

No way he's worth that money. Glad we didn't get him at that price.

 

13-14 pistons will be the 12-13 Suns

Congrats Dumars

 

Josh Smith got PAID. But the Pistons look like a mess to me. Might as well stayed in Atlanta.

 

That's a great thing

 

Do Smith and Drummond make Monroe expendable?

 

I was thinking that as well but I doubt it, as screwed up as that sounds. I don't think they would give him up.

 

+1

Man, we really could have got this. Josh Smith could have been AWESOME on our roster next to Dwight, and they have been buddies for a very long time ensuring Dwight will be staying. Wasn't part of the reason why Dwight committed here because Josh was seen as coming here too? Their close relationship I thought would have been part of the pitch that landed us Dwight.

Despite his shooting woes, Josh Smith is still an all-star calibre player. He is vastly underrated playing in a good but not great team in Atlanta, but he is such a dynamic player that can be a game changer on defense while providing fantastic offense in the paint and can shoot quite well too for a big man.

It seems everyone expects their PF to shoot no worse than Kevin Love.

I think Morey missed a golden opportunity.

 

good lord we didnt sign him. man i dont want the ticket price for rockets game to increase just to watch josh smith.

 

Feel a little relieved. Part of me wanted him, the other part really thought he would mess up our offense.

 

Guess Morey didn't want to pay him close to $14M/year. You'd think Houston would be preferable if the $ is roughly equal.

 

Dumars won a championship with less luck than probably any GM that most people remember. Name a GM that won a championship with less luck than Dumars.

 

The injury to Malone was pretty fortunate for the Pistons. There was a big difference in Lakers offense, their ball movement in particular, with and without Malone. Luke Walton was filling in instead.
