    Because Josh Smith never played on a winning team ever.
    He has never played in the playoffs, or been part of a playoff series winning roster.

    Oh wait.... that's all crap.
    But seems like the rhetoric getting spewed around....


    After that 7 game win streak, Pistons are playing sub .500 ball again.
    Honestly, playing a PF at SF wasn't brilliant, and didn't work that well for them. But playing Smoove at PF has worked in the past very effectively, and seems to be working pretty well for us!

    I could see the MLE maybe since he's already getting paid by the Pistons. But there's no way he takes a minimum deal from the Rockets. He wants to be here, but he's gonna get a decent offer from someone after the way his game has rebounded since joining the team.

    Morey tries to keep evidence of Smith playing well on the down low. Doesn't want annoying bidders

    Dude give it a break. Everybody doesn't know the exact figures as to how he has improved and put it in a very eye friendly chart.

    Clutchfans are getting more and more annoying as the days pass.

    Thanks jayhow. At that rate I hope both parties can quickly agree in the summer to commit to each other.... Josh is showing more maturity on the court and I believe he will show it off the court this summer by staying here...

    One of the absolute worst posters on this board. I'm convinced it's a teenager -- sad, if not.

    The big take away should be that it takes time for a player to integrate into a team after acquisition. Should be a wake up call to those who think getting a guy at the deadline is going to fix everything. I'd wager that the history of deadline moves trends more toward a regression for teams that make big deals and more success in the current year for teams that stand pat.
