Smart's contract runs out this year, and Rozier's runs out next year, so there will be two separate decisions made a year apart.

There are multiple back up guards I'd trade Smart for in a nano second, at least in a vacuum
Wow! Given the circumstances (not in a vacuum), can you please name a few back up guards you'd trade Smart for?
My reference to a vacuum has to do with the whole money aspect of things. Forgiving that here is a list of backup pgs I'd rather have than Smart

Jordan Clarkson
Milos Teodosic
De'Aaron Fox
Frank Ntilikina
Dejounte Murray
Kris Dunn

I think if I were told he was traded for Jerian Grant, Emmanuel Mudiay, or Delon Grant I could probably be persuaded to see the silver lining there

Malcolm Brogdan is currently a backup and a no brainer
Fair enough. I would consider trading Smart for some of those guys too (Brogdon, probably Ntilikina, possibly Clarkson, Fox). Was trying to think of realistic trades though. I mean, I would trade Smart for Brogdon, but the Bucks would never do it. Realistically speaking, I cannot think of a single straight up trade I would be willing to do involving Smart.

I guess you mean Delon Wright? (otherwise who the hell is Delon Grant?)

Smart shot well against the Pacers.  It was nice to see him hit some two point jumpers.  Why not let him do that for a while to get his percentages up a bit.  I'd make him hit a few two point jump shots each game before allowing him to step out and shoot the three.  Overall though I don't worry about Smart's shooting.

Ahem. So as I was saying Rozier does about 85% as much as Smart, but presumably will be paid a lot less for it.

Rozier also does certain things better than Smart.  If they were priced the same you would choose Smart, but as I don't think they will be priced the same, I would choose Rozier.

 Rozier has more upside!! Smart can't shoot, makes stupid passes, and is not nearly as good on defense as some think!!"

I'd get rid of both and find a backup G who can actually hit a shot. This team needs Eddie House.

Rozier gets a triple double in his first start while Smart sits at home because he can't handle his stuff.

This debate is over.

It's Rozier by a slam dunk, almost literally.

If you like Rozier better than Smart, that's fine, but calling it a slam dunk because Rozier had one good game does not make much sense to me.

You are right. Same logic applies to Kyrie. Time to build around Terry.

Eja117 in Rozier’s previous horrible nine game stretch where he averaged 7.1 pts, 2.3 asts, 3.6 rebs on 31.9/27.9/78.5 shooting splits:

It's officially time to trade away Kyrie, let Smart walk for nothing, and build with Terry!!  ::)

I mean I hope Rozier does a lot of good things for us and think he's a solid player, but wow one game and we're already making these bold claims?? Let him start a few games in a row and see if he keeps it up.

Next year, Rozier.   What Smart does better then Rozier is not that much better to pay Smart starter money.   

Not when you consider that the team will have Hayward back, and another year of development for Brown and Tatum.

  • Peace it's a board. We all will never agree.
If Smart is not over priced. We should keep both.
