    "Sign Jason Collins."

    Josh Smith has agreed to a four year, $56 million deal with the Detroit Pistons, league sources tell Y! Sports.

    About what I thought he would get paid.

    I honestly don't know what the hell the Pistons are doing.

    Trying to become slightly relevant? I dunno. I think Smith and Drummond start, Monroe off the bench, Smith can play alongside either one of them as PF, and, for small stretches to increase all their minutes, he sees some time at the 3.

    I think they're just signing him and hoping to trade Monroe or Smith for a good player some time in the season.

    Doesn't make sense to sign a 14 million dollar guy when your best player currently plays the same position.

    Me neither, but maybe more importantly Houston just doesn't look like a real contender as constructed, and there isn't much else in the way of big time FAs or players on the block. In a playoff series would they beat the Spurs? Thunder? Clippers? Memphis? Warriors? Not saying they're worse than any of those teams but playoff matchups would be a toss up.

    My guess is that Monroe becomes trade bait.

    ATL still has quite a bit of cap space.
    CLE has a bit (but not quite a bit) left.
    DAL still has some.
    DET still has some (even after getting JSmooth).
    MIL has some but they need to bring their PG back.
    PHX might have some (they did before the trade).

    That is all I think.

    ???? Monroe is a defensive stud! Have you seen his numbers? He is just what the doctor ordered.
