Good or bad NBA free-agent fits?

Jared Dubin, Hardwood Paroxysm: Good fit for Josh's bank account, but bad mbt footwear on-court fit for the Pistons. The spacing problems presented by a Smith-Greg Monroe-Andre Drummond frontcourt would be hellacious, and would almost certainly offset the potential defensive gains made by pairing Smith with Drummond.

D.J. Foster, ClipperBlog: Bad fit. Detroit's best player (Greg Monroe) mbt shoes online is a power forward. Andre Drummond needs time at the 5. Josh Smith, he of the 28 percent career average from 3-point land, is not a small forward. But aside from insulting the concept of spacing? Well, it's still awful. Can Joe Dumars really overspend in free agency again when his roster isn't ready to compete? It's Groundhog Day in Detroit.

Tom Haberstroh, ESPN.com: Bad fit. Did the Infamous Summer of 2009 not teach Dumars cheap jerseys online anything? Cap space to Detroit is like a bright light to a mosquito: It looks cool, but it doesn't get you anywhere. As a non-glamour market, the Pistons often find themselves egregiously overpaying free agents (see: Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva). Better to let Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond blossom than have Smith poison the frontcourt with horrible shots.
