Guest rivgambino Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Pistons might very well be the new hawks of the east. A lock for the playoffs sealed with a guarantee that they'll never get past the 2nd round. New city, same outcome Mr. Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecampster Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 answering the question of how much is left: (a few of these are approximate) Horford - 12 millionMilsap - 9 millionKorver 5.5 millionLou - 5.25 millionTeague Q/O - 4.5Carroll - 2.5 millionJenkins 1.26 millionCunningham - 1.21 millionNogueira hold - 1.4 millionSchröder hold 1.3 million------------------------------------43.92 million not including holds 3 spots to fill, 2 holds of 490k each So we have 14.4 million minimum to spend (give or take) if we renounce everyone.

Bonkers Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Going to miss hearing Bob say"And just a terrible shot selection from Josh on that one" Nique:"I agree Bob, you have to get the ball to your guards going up court"Yea Nique used to say "That's where u gotta get it to ur guard" llke a dozen times every game lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High5 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Well this has been a long time coming and I'm happy for both sides to finally part ways, but it's definitely sad to see Josh's departure become official. Honestly, Josh Smith is the main reason I became the diehard Hawks fan that I am today. I was born in 89 and didn’t really care anything about basketball (other than Space Jam) until I saw the Shaq and Kobe Lakers battle the Kings. That was thrilling basketball and I became somewhat of a Lakers fan. I went to several Hawks games with my dad and would root for them to win, but I was mostly there to see stars on the other team. It wasn’t until I saw Josh Smith win the dunk contest that my interest really piqued in the home team. It was cool to see a young rookie with such such special talent shine on a national stage. I started watching Hawks games on television and by the next season I was a full-blown fan. He’s been the one constant through all these years and the reason for my username on here and RealGM. So even though probably half of my posts have been dedicated to criticizing Josh and venting my frustration, I am going to miss seeing #5 Josh Smith in the lineup. Thanks for all the highlights. P.S. I’ve hated the Lakers for years. Don’t ban me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plainview1981 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 I dunno. If they are able to get Rondo they may be pretty good. Agree if they land Rondo. I really like Monroe.... I mean, Detroit overpaid, but I don't think they will be terrible if they get Rondo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 LOL @ the tweet saying if the Pistons get Rando they would be pretty good. You can say that for anything. If the Bucks acquired Todd Day, Mookie Blaylock, Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson, and Kobe Bryant they would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there was a previous post saying Rondo to the Pistons is a possibilty...and if the Celtics are going full-tank it would make sense that they will be shopping him.

Buzzard Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) I was looking at the Pistons roster and there are players I would consider taking off their hands if they wanted cap space in a SnT. F - Jonas Jerebko 4.5 MillionC - Vyacheslav Kravtsov 1.5 MillionSG- Kim English .788 MillionSG - Kentavious Caldwell-Pope 2.2 Million The first two are probably considered expendable. The latter two are probably penciled in as high minutes players at weak positions. Other than Pope they all have only two years left on their contracts, so very low risk. And Jonas is a intriguing prospect as a tall stretch forward type. Other than those four, the Pistons do not have a lot to offer and we all know Drummond and Monroe are off limits.

Guest Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 As much as he frustrated me, Smoove seemed like a great guy all around and I wish him the best of luck with the Pistons.Having said that, I guess it's time to change my avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drzachary Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 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? It's not like Darko wasn't universally hyped. The only way to win is to get high picks like that, you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeman Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Best of luck to Smoove, he was a big reason I watched every game during our shittier seasons (13 win season for example). Most exciting player in a Hawks uni since Nique. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
