Josh Smith: Waived By Pistons

Smith was released by the Pistons on Monday, ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Smith has really struggled this season, shooting a career-low 39.1 percent from the field and just 46.8 percent from the line. The move is a bit surprising given the nature of his contract and the hit the Pistons will take against the salary cap, but it appears the team is ready to move on. Greg Monroe figures to be the biggest beneficiary of the move.
