With just a year under his belt as a Detroit Piston, Josh Smith is apparently on the move again. The Sacramento Kings are pushing hard to acquire the star forward in exchange for Jason Thompson and Derrick Williams.
Ken Berger of CBS Sports reported on the latest in trade talks for Josh Smith:
Renewed discussions between the Kings and Pistons on Josh Smith have not progressed yet to the point where a deal is imminent, source says.

ESPN.com's Marc Stein reports that Josh Smith is once again the subject of trade talks:
“The Detroit Pistons and the Sacramento Kings have resumed trade discussions on a deal that could send Josh Smith to Sacramento, according to sources with knowledge of the talks.”
“Sources told ESPN.com that the Kings have continued to express interest in Smith and the parties are on the hunt for a third team to could help facilitate the deal.”
“Sources say the Kings continue to give the addition of Smith serious consideration, largely because the discussions to date have not required them to part with any players in their long-term plans and would also add a versatile and athletic defender to a roster that badly needs one, given how much Kings coach Mike Malone is known to preach defense.”
Will this be a good idea for the Sacramento Kings? It is worth noting that Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins are the type of players who needs the ball in their hands to get their groove. Smith is no different story. Will they be able to co-exist? Sound off in the comments section below!
