I would tend to agree. I'm getting real tired of the hole that Smart puts us in offensively at times, but... I think we also need to be mindful of how much of an impact Smart makes, as a + - savant on, and off the court. The impact is far greater and definitely more insurmountable, especially considering how lackluster of a night he had last night offensively, and still finished with another sound +/-, once again.
We could trade him, or not re-sign him, but I believe that would be a huge mistake. If Smart comes out to 10-12 million per year, I don't see why not.. That's certainly affordable, and it's giving him Avery Bradley money in that he can certainly go above and beyond that contract, or not exceed expectations either. Its on Ainge to decide eventually, but I believe Smart isn't leaving anytime soon. It doesn't make any counter intuitive sense to let him go anyways, unless Smart gets offered anything above 15+ million.
