Detroit Pistons president and coach Stan Van Gundy reached out to
forward Josh Smith to tell him that reports of the franchise engaging
in substantive trade talks with Sacramento centered on Smith have been
inaccurate and – barring an unexpected turn of events –
Smith will be in training camp with the Pistons this fall.
Sacramento had made calls about Smith in June,
but Detroit never heard an offer that remotely interested them and
never seriously engaged in discussions.
Smith could return to a frontcourt that includes forward Greg Monroe,
who is a restricted free agent this summer. The Pistons have been
willing to engage teams in sign-and-trade scenarios for Monroe,
but those talks have gained little traction, sources said.
Smith, 28, has three years and $40 million left on his contract.
He averaged 16.4 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.4 blocks last season.
大范说Josh会在今年活塞的训练营出现，意指他不会被交易。
六月的时候国王曾经说想要Josh，前几天也有消息透露开始着手交易
但活塞完全没有考虑过，相对于倾向留下Josh，
受限自由球员的Monroe即是活塞需送走的对象，球团比较偏向将他先签后换。
28岁的Josh Smith与活塞还有三年共4000万的合约
去年他效力活塞缴出大约平均16.4分 6.8篮板 1.4火锅。
