    I can't believe the fans of a team with a roster including Ayres, Daye, and a rookie would say anything other than a resounding Yes to Josh Smith. Of course the Spurs should go after him.

    Using the stretch provision, will Detroit have to pay the full amount of Smith's remaining salary? Or will his new contract dollar amount be deducted from the yearly total?
    Should be subject to offsets for the next three years, but the final three won't be set-offable.

    How is he a bad decision maker by going to Detroit? He got like $56 million.
    He went there knowing they had Drummond and Monroe, but was immediately unhappy that he had to play the SF position... what did he think was going to happen when he signed? Yeah, he got paid, but he wasted two prime years of his career. He should've picked a better situation if he really was opposed to being a SF.

    LOL, 5-page long thread for a player who's not coming here. It's like the Pau Gasol thread and that was lengthened by that tspence tool.

    Career playoffs TS%: 47..ugh
    Blatche improved his playoff TS% by more than 70 points between WSH and BRK. And that wasn't in the Spurs' system.

    So if he signs somewhere this summer for the MLE, Detroit won't have to pay him anything for two years? I guess they did figure out a way to unload him and save a little money.

    TSpense I haven't thought of him in a minute, what does he say about our prospects of landing Smith?

    Nah, check the CBA FAQ for the details, but it would be essentially an even split IIRC.

    From Espn:

    "Smith was on pace to be the first NBA player to shoot below 40 percent on field goals and below 50 percent on free throws while taking at least 12 shots per game, according to ESPN Stats & Information."

    Yeah but if you look at my posts here, you'll see I'm not clamoring for him to play for us and have been primarily replying to others.

    He's not coming here. He'll end up in Houston or Dallas.

    They're both dumpster fires this year. Though Smith carries a slight edge in WS

    i just realized that piston game just became less winnable, is it possible will we now have a 13 game losing streak?

    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.

    IIRC he said Pistons offered far and above the most money and it was the only real option

    Trying to fit in a new piece could increase the urgency of the team and the talent level at the same time. I don't really watch smith but I think we have enough shooters to balance the court especially when patty comes back and the passing of team will enable him to get plenty of easy baskets.

    Also teams not wanting to trade for Smith at 14mil shouldn't be relevant to the spurs signing him for a couple million.

    Pounding the Rock's Opinion:

    http://www.poundingtherock.com/2014/...aived-interest


    In a nuts :

    1) bad chemistry
    2) we'd have to play him at center!
    3) won't want to come here anyway, so point is moot.

    On the other hand ESPN's Michael Wallace in his chat today said that the Spurs would be the best fit for Smith of any contending team.

    In the end as Bill Shakespeare once said, this is probably "Much ado about nothing."

    If all else iT would be nice to give Diaw some compe ion and motivate him. He definitely seems completely disinterested and more heavier then he was last season right now.

    He probably laughs a little inside whenever he looks at the bench and sees Errors and Boner sitting there as his replacements.

    The Spurs want no part of that chucking waste of talent, and rightfully so. He's terrible.
