The same Josh Smith, folks, who is owed $26 million over the next two seasons AFTER this one. Released by Stan Van Gundy just now

Damn...if true, I am glad SVG didn't take the bait and package a future first to dump that contract.

Holy frick! If they used the stretch provision, they are on the hook for a LOT of their cap space for several years.

Kings lock, fyi.

I don't think that is relevant to any other team. If they released him, they must have used the stretch provision.

He could in theory sign with a team for the minimum.

They did use the stretch. That's like 5.2 million a year for 5 years counting against the cap.

Full on tank mode.

Smith would be a PF in Sacramento, not a SF. It was dumb to expect him to play on the wing and ask him not to shoot 3's.

Little piece of trivia:

Josh Smith has a better 3 point percentage than Kobe Bryant over the course of this year and last year. Still terrible.

Joe Dumars giving him all that money. What a dumbfrick.

It scares the ever living shite out of me that Dumars is friends with the Bensons.
