I have seen a lot of people suggest a S&T sending Smart to LA but that doesnt make sense to me from a Celtics perspective. Schroder is not a decisively better player than Marcus, especially when you consider advanced metrics. The only reason to trade Smart is to not pay him what Schroder wants to be paid... so again, whats the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger issue is they're already pressed up against the luxury tax IIRC, and S&T for Schroder hard caps them. And the Lakers don't really want more salary back unless it's making them clearly better. I don't think they're adding more salary for Smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I imagine Smart makes them better since Shroder isn't going to be a Laker this season either way. However, I agree with you, I don't think they are going to add Smart given their current salary implications. He is a young guy looking for his bag whereas the Lakers all in for a year or 2 of chip pushing. Smart is great guy to have in the playoff but I would imagine the Lakers would rather fill that with vets taking less to chase a ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kip Smithers Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 3 hours ago, sdrawkcab321 said: Rather than give him that much. Yes. He’s not worth that. Who else was giving him that? Knicks aren’t anything more than a bottom playoff team now at best with no room to improve because of their dumb contracts they gave out. Another team would have. That’s how the NBA works. If he replicates last season then there ain’t nothing wrong with it. As they would’ve have to pay him more in all likelihood. How else would the Knicks have improved? They don’t have a realistic shot at getting any big time FA anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could look like a very good deal next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirill Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) OKC should sign JJ Reddick to 1 year 15M. Get a shooting coach for our young players and he can just run his podcast and introduce the sports world to our young guys. They got 30M in cap space and 1 or 2 roster spots open, they might as well use it that way IMO. Edited August 5, 2021 by Kirill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcCoy Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 lol just pick a team Iggy.... Lakers really a retirement home if he comes here. Would surpass Melo as the oldest player on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
