Josh Smith Has Not Played For Detroit In 5 Years But Still Collecting Checks

However, Smith has not played in the league since the 2017-18 season (4 games), but he is still collecting some nice checks from the Pistons.

This season alone, the franchise is expected to shell out a $5.3 million check, followed by another one for the same amount next season.

This is the price you pay for waiving someone you sign to a big contract, but it was still ultimately the best move the Pistons have made in a while.
