List of teams I'd want to see Josh Smith play for just for comedic value:
Knicks
Lakers
Kings
I'd pick the nuggets but I think javale is hurt -
Watch sac town go after him. I won't be opposed to it since we don't have to give anyone up for him
-
Kings need a pf and have been interested in smith for a while they'll probably sign him then hire george karl.
Several teams will be interested so I don't know where he'll end up -

The Detroit Pistons announced today the club has requested waivers on forward Josh Smith.
"Our team has not performed the way we had expected throughout the first third of the season and adjustments need to be made in terms of our focus and direction," said Stan Van Gundy, Head Coach and President of Basketball Operations for the Detroit Pistons. "We are shifting priorities to aggressively develop our younger players while also expanding the roles of other players in the current rotation to improve performance and build for our future. As we expand certain roles, others will be reduced. In fairness to Josh, being a highly versatile 10-year veteran in this league, we feel it's best to give him his freedom to move forward. We have full respect for Josh as a player and a person."
The 6-foot-9, 225-pound forward has averaged 13.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.7 assists while shooting 39.1% from the field, 24.3% from three point range and 46.8% from the free throw line. In 105 games with the Pistons, the Georgia native averaged 15.5 points, 6.9 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.
Smith was acquired by the Pistons as a free agent on July 10, 2013. Drafted with the 17th overall selection in the 2004 NBA Draft by the Atlanta Hawks, the former Oak Hill Academy product has averaged 15.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.0 blocks and 34.2 minutes in 781 career games (758 starts).

Damn I'm shocked at this news. I never would've thought that they will waive Josh Smith after they gave him that big contract. Monroe & Drummond are dope.
Now that Josh Smith can't shoot threes anymore in Detroit. Maybe the city can rise again -
the lakers should sign him as an experiment to see how inefficient a basketball team could possibly be
-
Fired right before Xmas

"You don't respect your jaw" -
And to think that smith once shot nearly 50% from the field, wtf happened.
Saw Knicks v raptors, shut down Melo, obvious his knee is bothering him. -
Breaking news ...............
carmelo anthony and deron williams is being traded to the lakers -
SVG said he does what he wants.
How you that athletic and still be so bad?
He was trying to fit in with most ? games instead of playing his.
Plus the ? can't shoot for ? . what gave him that confidence? Did he out shoot Joe Johnson in practice one day and said "you know what I can do this". From then on his numbers just been abysmal. -
Dallas and Sacramento is interested
