Pistons sign Josh Smith - 4 years / 56 million

[BrazilianHawk]

THANK YOU JESUS!!!

[ATLHawks3]

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY-SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE WITH THE JAM!

Man I'm gonna miss that....

[LamarHampton]

Does signing Pek effect our ability to bring back Teague at all?

It's still pretty likely Minny matches, but we have a lot of options to make the room necessary to get Pek and keep Teague, barring any outrageous offers to Teague.

[Plainview1981]

So, this means no S&T?

How much cap space is left now?

[hawkrule152]

Please Lord, let us have Pek.

[LamarHampton]

Please Lord, let us have Pek.

I'd bet Ferry is on the phone right now

[WraithSentinel]

Pistons have nothing to offer the Hawks in any S&T. Drum and Monroe will not be traded.

[terrell]

JBrick, Monroe AND Drummond? Hmmm??

Seriously, let's get Pekovic now with this cap space.

Thanks for the memories, J-Smoove!

But, I'll take Millsap for $9.5m/year over Josh for $14m/year every day of the week.

It is sad too. If he would of just stuck to what he was good at, we all wouldn't dislike him so much. 14 mill to start Smoove at SF? Good luck with that.

Best draft pick BK has every had though.

Max Pekovic NOW!

[atlbraves93]

I think the big point of the sign-and-trade is that it allows a player to get a 5-year deal. Seeing as Josh already signed a 4-year deal, I don't see any reason that a S&T would happen.

[GameTime]

Please Lord, let us have Pek.

Restricted = Minnesota WILL MATCH.

[terrell]

That is... WAY too much for Smoove. Dumars is drunk.

We're talking about the same guy that took Darko ahead of Melo,Wade, Bosh, etc.... Btw, how in the heck does this dude still have a job? Are you kidding me?

[Guest Zone]

I'd be very surprised if we got Pek.

Minny has been open about them matching any offer they get for him. We're pretty much screwed.

[BrazilianHawk]

We gotta try PEK-MAN (you heard it here first!) regardless

[vext]

Nothing is signed. It's a verbal agreement and could change to a sign and trade. Teams can't sign anyone until the 10th. He probably walks for nothing, but Detroit might want to sign and trade to save some money or something.

Al?

[terrell]

I sure didn't want an SnT with pretty much anything (that they're willing to give up) on that roster. It would have had to be a 3-way where all DET gives us is picks.

Smoove, Monroe, and Drummond... can that work up front?

~lw3

Nope. lol. Hawks will still be better than the Pistons.

[Alex]

Goodbye Josh. You were my favorite Hawks player and I am sad to see you go. Good luck in Detroit. You will be missed by many, but it was time for both sides to explore new options.
