The Pistons and Kings have spoken about a trade that would ship Josh Smith to Sacramento, reports Marc Stein of ESPN.com. One version would involve Derrick Williams and Jason Thompson heading to Detroit, while Jason Terry is a part of other scenarios, Stein adds (Twitter links). No deal is imminent, but Stein suggests that Sacramento has Rajon Rondo in mind as they pursue a deal for Smith, whos friends with the Celtics point guard (Twitter link).
Pistons president of basketball operations Stan Van Gundy expressed confidence this afternoon in the teams direction regarding soon-to-be restricted free agent Greg Monroe, and a trade of Smith would help resolve the Pistons shooting deficiencies if Monroe remains. The new deal at or near the max that Monroe and agent David Falk are likely to command this summer would mean Monroe would join Smith on lucrative long-term contracts that would make it difficult for the Pistons to make changes along the front line without parting with Drummond.
The Kings under GM Pete DAlessandro have been perhaps the most aggressive team on the trade market, and a deal involving either Williams or Terry would represent a quick flip of players he acquired via trades just this past season. Thompson was frequently in trade rumors toward the deadline, but talks involving the Cavs never came to fruition.
nothing major but something to talk about. ive been a huge jt fan and while ive never really like derrick williams and ive never really given him much hope hed be a good throw in. id take jason terry in a heartbeat to get rid of smoove too.
