I don't see us moving Smith at all. Picking up Smith has helped us on the boards, it's helped us offensively in the paint, and he's a good veteran to Monroe and Drummond. I love it when I hear Smith screaming at Drummond when he misses up defensively. And when Smith slides to the 4 spot with either Moose or Drummond our front-court is solid. What we need is couple of pieces to put this puzzle together.

Yup & aside from us lucking into Wiggins or Parker without Stuckey next year I expect a worse record than this year. & even if we do luck into Parker/Wiggins, neither is ready to step into the #1 role vocally from day 1, they will defer to Josh & Jennings.

& we will be one year closer to what now seems like inevitable friction within Drummond's camp unless something huge changes.

If the Pistons are worse next year than this year, then Charlotte will be getting an even better pick than this year. And, after reviewing all the players in this draft, I don't think any are Superstars. The hype behind this draft has been overwhelming while none of the draftees really killed it. Not sure who the Pistons would be tanking for, but it appears none of the players in the draft are going to make an immediate impact or game changers.

I want us to lose our pick this summer. I think all these players coming out are overrated. We need proven players on our team next season anyway, not a rookie who might bust.

Drummond 100%
Monroe 25%
Smith 100%
Stuckey 0%
Singler 100%
KCP 50%
Bynum 50%
Jennings 100%

Monroe+KCP/Bynum is about the only deal we have to make
