The NBA regular season is just around the corner and the Detroit Pistons will be vying for back-to-back postseason appearances for the first time in a decade (the team made the playoffs from 2002-2009). Pistons fans might see a Blake Griffin MVP campaign for the ages. Or Derrick Rose could sweep the votes for the Sixth Man of the Year award. Heck, the team could even win 50 games or more.
What fans may not realize, is that the conclusion of the 2019-2020 season will mark the end of Josh Smith’s contract with Detroit.
