Helene St. James Brendan Smith files for salary arbitration

[Henkka]

They can't buyout until next summer. The best option would be to trade him for some deep draft pick and say good riddance.

They can. Read the CBA.

Only one "golden boy" allowed at a time on defense --- and that's Dekeyser (for now).
I don't know what Smith hopes to accomplish in arbitration or how he plans to accomplish it.

He hopes to stay in Detroit on a short contract so that he can re-sign after he proves himself a little more. How so many people fail to understand this is beyond me.

Smith re-signed 2 years per Elliotte Friedman and therefore avoids arbitration.
