http://uproxx.com/dimemag/2015/07/josh- ... or-family/ Oh, to be Josh Smith. First, he was unceremoniously told to go home by Stan Van Gundy and the Detroit Pistons during the middle of a season. They literally paid him to go home and stay away from the team. And after spending the rest of the regular season and playoffs with the Houston Rockets, Smith found himself with few suitors on the free agent market. Until the Los Angeles Clippers swooped in to sign the talented forward, that is. Unfortunately for Smith, though, his new deal was for the veteran’s minimum – a measly $1.5 million. $1.5 million. That’s all. How can someone survive on making that chump change? It’s a question Mr. Smith is asking himself these days. He mentioned the sacrifice he is making to become a Clipper during his introductory press conference. Here’s J-Smoove courtesy of the Detroit Free Press’ David Whitley: “At the end of the day, you know, I do have a family,” he said. “So it is going to be a little harder on me this year. But I’m going to push through it, you know.” Good for you, Josh Smith. |

He said it wrong but in a way he has a point. If your family has a budget for $50k a year and then you lose half your income things become harder. He was supposed to make $14M a year until the Pistons waived him. |

It's not that he can't make $6M work I think he was just pointing out that what he budgeted for and what he's making is different. That's something everyone can understand even if the $$ is different. |

If he would just waited for the new CBA, he may have survived. |

Nas there is no way you can defend him here, and if you are, you would be wrong. |

I was a little surprised to read this earlier this morning. Maybe his coaching stint didn't go that well. |
