Although the NBA season hasn’t officially been cancelled, it appears things could be headed in that direction. Whenever that point does arrive, the Detroit Pistons will officially no longer be paying Josh Smith.
Smith, who hasn’t actually played a game in Detroit since the 2014-2015 season, had been owed $5.3 million per year after he was bought out.
After originally signing a four year contract worth $54 million, his time with the Pistons was remarkably underwhelming. At the time of his signing, the fan base was divided from the start.
It almost felt like your dedication to the team and to the sport dictated how you felt about the move.
