@JamesPiercey11 This is fair - but I don’t think we know if he’s a defensive liability or if his slump in finishing is permanent.
I think it will probably be 2 more years before we can definitively say that we can’t keep defenders honest with his shooting gravity.
Need one more full year.
@PauloAlvesNBA Wondering if they might have promised 3 years (2 years + PO) to Smart and needed to do this deal to achieve that?
(Assuming they haven’t signed him officially yet and they change to 3 years)
@MadManLeaks Or maybe s&t doesn’t work for OKC and we could just send back enough salary to save them some $$ and take the risk that he bolts next year. Then wouldn’t add mic draft comp
@MadManLeaks This is the guy we’d want to add! Can play next to Reed and fits the timeline nicely.
Would love a sign and trade (that saves OKC $$) but locks him up for a few years. Would throw a few firsts into that.
