I don't see Danny or Brad parting with Smart at all. He's the one guy who embodies what they want on the floor, and is now capable of running the team the way they want while shooting better. He's literally become exactly what they want from a player.
No way that happens.
He's basically the only player they can completely trust out on the floor right now.
As far as being an extension of the way they want to play.
And you don't groom a guy like that for years to then turn around and make him the opposition on any team.
Lol. Danny would trade Marcus Smart in a heartbeat for Anthony Davis.
It's not gonna be Smart for AD, so I don't know why yall keep saying that. And to me...it looks kinda bone-headed to be trading players who continually go deep in the playoffs for one player who doesn't...and they didn't even make that much noise with a top 10 power forward beside him, and championship caliper.point guard.
Then throw in the fact N.O. is not gonna do business with the Lakers, and Davis only has one year left on his contract...
Trade on young man, trade on.
I don't even get why yall are even supporting this team when the only players you guys think is worth anything is Hayward, Kyrie and Al, with the rest being broken players in one form or another.
And to add on to that...Gordon went down 5 minutes into last year and Kyrie played 60 games.
Who's team is this again? Kyrie, Gordon and Al's?
Okey dokey...I just maintain people don't know the real core of this team and want to sacrifice it for anyone except them...and these guys came right out of college making a big difference, flaws and all.
All they get for it is "he's lost taking it to the rim, he don't pass, he can't shoot free throws, he iso's too much, he's a black hole, he don't play defense...but stay in the playoffs since they first stepped foot in the league from college.
Meanwhile the other guys don't play defense either, and Gordon is only gonna help a team, he's not gonna "lead" them anywhere.
I hope yall know what you want, or if you really have it all figured out.
If any of those guys gave numbers like Gordon, you want to jet them to another team quickly, but Gordon is this team's secret weapon though. And Kyrie is not even putting up IT numbers, but you would think he was twice the player by what I read.
