Lol, what if we end up with both. TPE for Jennings Jones, Canaan, Covinton, Gee, Hopson and Powell for Josh Smith and Pistons 2016 1st (top 3 or 5 protected). I'd do it, efficiency is 4 chumps. Jennings/Beverley Harden/Daniels Ariza Smith/Motiejunas Howard + MLE and BAE, maybe Marion and Ayon.
Fair enough, he takes over 3 shots from beyond the arc a game and hits 26% of them, that's not opinion. He is a cancer in the locker room and his teammates hate him, that's not opinion. Pistons fans want him gone because they believe he was a large part of the problems on the team last year, that's not opinion. He played over 35 minutes per game and had over 24% usage and still ended the season with -1.4 offensive win shares, that's not opinion. The Pistons would LOVE to dump Josh Smith on anyone willing, that's not opinion.
I accept that as a flaw in his game, no argument I don't really believe this, I see the one or 2 reports about Monroe not favoring him, but I remember him not having any locker room problems with the Hawks, the bad rep from the Hawks was from demanding a trade, not locker room problems It may be a fact that the pistons fans want Smith out, but Pistons fans opinions aren't facts, they're opinions. He had a very bad season, on a very bad team, out of position, on a new team. Look at his career average win shares Of course the Pistons want him out, as you can see above ^. Smith does not work with the Pistons, its an awful fit. It doesn't make Smith a crap player because he didn't fit.
I don't think they'd kill each other, but why get Josh Smith when you have Rudy Gay at the sf & 4 guys including Jason Thompson/Carl Landry/Derrick Williams at pf. Hell, the mayor of Sacramento could make better bb decisions than that! OOOHHH! Did I just scoop something?!? :grin:
The day Smith retires will be great, I hate these trade for Smith, how about Smith threads so, so much. This guy has been playing with the ball-iq of a potato for years and has one of the worst shot selections in the NBA. A max contract player that ruins your offense and is only there for help defense is not what we need. just no, nooooo.
