Zach Lowe: Other teams say Pistons indeed shopping Josh Smith, but demanding more than just dead expirings. Twitter -

Dumars overpaid Smith and now has one of the more untradable contracts in the NBA.

Smith and his contract will look much better if he ends up on a reasonably decent team who plans to use him as a PF.

I'd do Hump, Bradley and clips pick

PG: Rondo
SG: Green
SF: Wallace
PF: Smith
 C: Sully

But then I would make up injuries so we can still tank  ;D

what ashamed if he's not traded that this was Dumars' last non-play. Should have never signed him, now they might not get .50 on the dollar for him

They shouldn't have signed Jennings either..

Bad players on bad contracts tend to be on the block as soon as their teams are willing to admit to themselves that they signed a bad player to a bad contract.

Love to buy low on  him. He has played out of position all year. Plenty still left in the tank.

Josh Smith could be our 2014 Ray Allen to attract our 2014 KG (Love, Melo,whoever)

Only play him at the 4 so our lineup stays unbalanced for the tank.

What would you do with your other 4's on the team...Hump, Sully, BB, KO??

It's not really worth it with Sully here... He would play well on a team in need of a pf, but we aren't that team

Ship Sullinger out for Tyler Zeller, use Bass and Olynyk off the bench -- and Humphries will almost certainly have to go in the Smith deal for salary purposes. Problem solved.

Gerld Wallace for J-Smoove.

Bam.

The Pistons do need a SF right? ::)

Not only could I argue that Sully is well on his way to being a better player than Smith (on a rookie contract), but trading him for Tyler Zeller would be an awful trade. You can do better down the line if you just keep Sully

Well then keep him, I have no problem with that. But he's not going to be a better player than Josh Smith.

In my opinion, his trade value is negative due to his current contract. I don't get why some Celtics fans are so high on him. He's just another Rudy Gay.
