Pistons history: The day Josh Smith was waived

On Dec. 22, 2014, the Pistons were staring at a 5-23 record, but something great happened that turned it all around...

Christmas came early on this day last year. H/T to Crosseyed and DBB Diablo for the reminders!

A year ago today, the @DetroitPistons were an abysmal 5-23, so they cut Josh Smith. 43-39 since. https://t.co/c5WMEJNP1T

43-39 would've been good enough for the 6th seed in last year's playoffs.
