With a jacket and tie ... not so much. I hope he works out, though.
The Detroit Pistons have agreed on a four-year, $56 million contract with free-agent forward Josh Smith, sources told ESPN.com.
Smith's agent Brian Dyke confirmed the signing to ESPN. Smith had also considered a return to the Atlanta Hawks and the Houston Rockets.
The Pistons intended to make a splash in free agency and targeted Smith from the first moments of free agency this week.
Smith looked at several other options in free agency, as did the Pistons before coming to terms. His signing won't become official until Wednesday.
As of now, the Pistons are not involved in a sign-and-trade with the Hawks, whom Smith is leaving after nine seasons, sources said.
Smith averaged 17.5 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists for the Hawks last season.

New Pistons point guard Brandon Jennings was reportedly punched in the face by rapper The Game while Jennings was celebrating his birthday at a club in Los Angeles this past weekend, according to HipHollywood.
Jennings was apparently celebrating his 24th birthday at Lure in LA – one of the rapper's favorite spots -- and got into it with The Game after the two argued over who could use the deejay's microphone.
“[The Game] didn't like that Jennings was hogging the microphone. He felt like he was being disrespected,” a witness told HipHollywood. Things escalated and that's when Jennings reportedly got hit.
The former Bucks point guard was acquired by Detroit in a sign-and-trade this offseason that netted Jennings a three-year, $25 million deal.
The Pistons open their preseason in two weeks against Israel's Maccabi Haifa.

If HipHollywood reports it, it's gotta be true.

- Andre Drummond is going to be scary, stupid good once he learns the finer points of playing in the post. Amazing athlete, surprisingly good footwork and instincts near the basket.
The Pistons should able to score in bunches most nights and I think it'll be disappointing if they don't make the playoffs.
- Oh, and if they don't cut Charlie Villanueva before the regular season starts, I'll be amazed. Fucking guy did everything but shit on the court in the brief times he played in the preseason.

I'm looking forward to watching him play this year.The Pistons should able to score in bunches most nights and I think it'll be disappointing if they don't make the playoffs.

Agreed. I know Ben Gordon was sort of a flop here but it's still amazing he got unloaded before Villanueva.
