I figured we could use a thread dedicated to Free Agency news and signings.

Chris Paul is expected to agree to a 5-year, $107 million extension with the Clippers shortly after 12:01 AM eastern time.

Somewhere Flip is out there thinking the Pistons still have a chance.

Dre Drummond · Post #3 » by **Dre Drummond** » Mon Jul 1, 2013 4:05 am

Gordon has a large 3 year contract.

$14.3 million
$14.9 million
$15.5 million

For that type of money you'd better be getting an all-star caliber guy who plays well on both ends of the floor.

Multiple sources have said the #Pistons will target Atlanta's Josh Smith at the start of free agency

Dre Drummond · Post #6 » by **Dre Drummond** » Mon Jul 1, 2013 4:09 am

Factoring in his age compared to Iggy, he is the smarter choice going forward. Iggy's contract might be killing us 2-3 years down the road.

#Pistons believe Josh Smith can play the 3 and spend time at the four as well. So he can play with Monroe/Drummond, then with either/or

10 minutes in and we're already doomed.

So we are offering Smith the max on the first day, we either think he can play 3 or we are prepared to trade Monroe or Drummond

dammmmmmmn. Athleticism

Monroe would gotta be on the move right? Smith would be horrid at SF and would be a gigantic waste of money.

Slackstring701 · Post #12 » by **Slackstring701** » Mon Jul 1, 2013 4:11 am

Smith only makes sense if one of Drummond + Monroe is moved.

Rajon Rondo, who was upset after seeing Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce dealt, wants Josh Smith in Boston. They were teammates in high school.

The Detroit Pistons are meeting with Josh Smith tonight, as @WojYahooNBA tweeted. The Boston Celtics are also expected to pursue Smith.

Smith might be us or Boston, apparently.

Could we get Kawhi Leonard for Moose?

What did you guys expect from the guy who gave us Villanueva and Gordon on Day 1 of free agency? Praying he turns us down.

I love big teams and hate small ball more than anyone but it gets to the point where you can't space the floor. If this deal goes down our entire front court will all have shaky or nonexistent jumpshots....

Our defence would be crazy with jsmith but still not sold on getting him, but if we sign him I guess id have to become a fan of him.

What's the most we could get for Moose?

Moose/Singler for Paul George?

Indy becomes:

Hill
Stephenson
Granger
Moose (West is a UFA)
Hibbert

uh oh. that really doesnt work. when you have two inside monsters you cant have weak shooters on the perimeter. will be too east to sag off and double greg if smith signs in detroit.
