Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

[DesignatedT]

Hope you're joking.

[TheTruth]

Wow, they used the stretch provision? He must have been some kind of cancer to that team.

[Mr Bones]

Amazing story. Detroit wanted him out so bad that they were willing to give him up for nothing.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Smith counts $5.8M for the next SEVEN YEARS on the Piston's books. OUCH.

[Mr Bones]

Watch Michael Jordan sign him.

[Chinook]

Smith counts $5.8M for the next SEVEN YEARS on the Piston's books. OUCH.

Nah. $13M this year and $5.2M for the following five.

[cd98]

May be able to get him at a bargain, but he'll go to one of the usual suspects (Clippers, Lakers, Cavs, Thunder) unless Atlanta can bring him home.

[Chinook]

And yes, I'd take him, though the team needs a PG more.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Nah. $13M this year and $5.2M for the following five.

Oh ok got it. Well let's sign him up!

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Please take him and get rid of Ayres or Bonner fuuuuck

[Old School 44]

For a minimum salary, I'd take a chance. If he doesn't workout, cut him. It would also serve as a bonus for fans who are looking to get rid of Daye or Ayres.

[Mr Bones]

Don't want. He'd come in, want more minutes, not get along with Kawhi, take bad three point shots, etc... It's one thing if you're 22 and have an at ude/maturity problem, but at this point it's clear he's a head case and nonstop trouble. Think about it: the Pistons are throwing away nearly $40 mil just to get clear of him.

Then you get rid of him if it doesn't work.. This is a low risk high reward situation.

[jyra]

I would totally get him but the front office obviously wants no part of head cases like him. Imagining him on the Rockets or Thunder is a bit scary.

They have Drummond and Monroe and tried to play him at SF.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Not sure why Detroit tried to force him into being a 3.

[SpurPadre]

A guy who at his peak can make the argument he's been an All-Star snub on a couple of occasions and a fat contract gets this treatment yet we, defending Champions, continue to lump around three steaming piles of perennial in Bonner, Ayres, and Daye for the of it. Crazy world.

[Mr Bones]

His overall shooting percentages are worse than Kobe's this year. That hardly seems possible.

[NASpurs]

Bring him in, play him coming off the bench and let Chip work with him during the summer and laugh all the way to the bank.

That would be scared of even attempting to shoot a three with Pop on his ass...well this year at least.

He signed there knowing they had Drummond and Monroe. What did he think was going to happen? So he's a bad decision maker on the court and at choosing teams during free agency.

[NASpurs]

Either way, I can already feel this being a 40 page thread.

[Boomersgold]

yeah! We could definitely use his pin point three point shooting and his efficiency when he's on the floor!

[kobyz]

Full MLE for Smith! please R.C please please please!!! before Cuban and Dallase will us!

He was chasing the money.
