Former Atlanta Hawks power forward Josh Smith officially joined Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.

The Motor City offered Smith a 54-million dollar contract, and the 28 year old was set to stay in Detroit for four years.

"I feel like we can definitely be a playoff team, and a contender," Smith said.

The Pistons had been kept away from NBA playoffs for four straight seasons. Smith, who could get 17.5 points averaging 8.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 steals every game last season, was considered as a great help for the playoff hope of the city.
