Per ESPN RADIO!...according the GB. Stay tuned.

Supposedly not official. Just will be a lucrative offer. Close it up.

Ugh. Well at least he is good at defense. That alone makes it not a complete fail.

They said "Lucrative Offer Coming" Jumped the gun thinking it was a done deal. Offer comes in 100 minutes.

This is what Keith Langlois said back in March regarding Josh Smith:

Rickey (Detroit): I think we need culture changers back in the locker room. We'll have a high draft pick coming, but I want to talk about free agency. My wish list, besides keeping Jose Calderon, are a combination of Josh Smith, Mike James, O.J. Mayo and Ben Wallace.

Langlois: Not sure that many in the NBA would regard Josh Smith as a "culture changer," Rickey. Terrific talent, no doubt, and someone the Pistons would have loved to have added a few years ago, no doubt. But I don't see the fit any longer with Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond already on board. The money it would take to get Smith to Detroit, with a contract extension to Monroe close on its heels, would eventually paint the Pistons into a corner with too great a percentage of their cap space dedicated to the two power positions. Anything's possible, I suppose, and at some point you're best advised to buy talent at the right value no matter the position. But if you could make these moves in a vacuum, the Pistons would probably like to add some pure wing scoring talent to the roster. It wouldn't hurt, either, if they could add a little veteran playoff experience to the mix to help take some of the burden of leadership off of the young core.

I would love to see how Langlois spins it if we do end up signing him.

Actually just remembered that Joe is having evening meeting with Iggy as we speak. Can't see them deciding this whirls meeting with Iggy.

It would be a souped up version of the Grizzlies IMO.

Totally jumped the gun here. I got a text as soon as I read it on RealGM and assumed it must've been true
