Smart
I can see that argument, considering that theis is coming back and maybe another big is out there that can provide what Baynes did

Hard to find those smart types

i think they are about equal importance. 

Baynes was absolutely great on D in the playoffs.  The only big criticism I have of Stevens is (1) not going back to starting Baynes a game sooner in the ECF and probably playing him more.

when he was on the court we seemed to be a lot better on D.  He started those last couple of games and played mostly in the 1st quarter when we played really well.  He had 18 min in game 7.  I just don't see how that is enough.

Smart is a no-brainer to try and resign at a reasonable price.

I realize that this sentiment won't be shared by many on here, but I really hope that I've seen Smart play his final game for the Celtics.

Baynes. He played within his role and didn't once make me ask why he kept shooting the entire playoffs.

I'm honestly trying to figure out why he didn't play more this series
 
Still don't believe in Joe.

any specific reason why? I'm guessing the frustration of seeing a guard that can't hit a bucket even when wide open. Its pretty embarrassing sometimes

Pretty much, lol, but he only exacerbates his offensive ineptitude by taking too many horrible shots, so yeah, I know that he hustles and everything else, but he's just not an NBA player, offensively, imo, and let's not forget about his infamous "heat checks" ::). Pretty cringe-worthy, wouldn't you say?

Smart.

Co-sign to the point mentioned about Theis. You give him the spot start or first big off the bench role, he's been shooting 3's for longer than Baynes and looked great with Horford,

Smart is much more difficult to replace and works well off Horford when other scorers are on the floor.

Fair enough ;D. Watching Brown make Ashton Kutcher look like Michael Cooper was pretty hilarious, as well, imo, plus Jaylen also appears to have the hands of Patrick Ewing ::), so there's that ;D.

At least Jaylen has come up big for Boston in other playoff games and has showed stud potential.
