Best trade package for Smart

[perks-a-beast]

Smart to Detroit for Isaiah Stewart & Killian Hayes.

I still like Hayes's upside as a playmaker and defender, even if his jump shot never comes around. The kids still only 21 years old!

Stewart gives the Celtics some much needed toughness upfront. He's a guy who will battle on the boards all game and knows his role.

Why does Detroit do it? Well, i'm not sure. But it's about time we make Smart someone else's problem lol.

Maybe if they include their draft pick. I like both players, but neither guy has proven yet to be a solid rotation piece, which is what we need around the Js.

[goCeltics]

Marcus and the jays can not coexist well enough to win a championship. There is not enough shooting/playmaking especially in the playoffs when things get tight. We saw it over and over again against the heat, they beat the c's playing zone. Trading Jaylen would be selling low right now, so it will have to be Marcus.

One of reason the Jaylen's assist numbers are low is a lack of outlet shooters on the floor surrounding him. Putting more shooting out there opens up things.

Not a fan of Killian Hayes. Not convinced he is an NBA player. He could be out of the league when his contract expires. He couldn't get close to BOS rotation. Pritchard is a better player than K Hayes.

Isiah Stewart reminds me of Xavier Tillman. Not quite as good. Useful backup big man but not quite big enough and/or not quite skilled enough. Low ceiling player. Useful but unexceptional. Bench player. Not a high end bench player. Look at how Hachimura out-played Tillman. Stewart would be a borderline rotation player for BOS. A 15-20mpg guy at best. A non-rotation player like Muscala at worst.

Not enough a fan of this package for Smart.

I would consider trading Smart for a high draft pick in the 6-10 range if a prospect I want is available at the time of the pick. There are two guys I like that I would trade Smart for.

Do you think he could garner that high of pick , I do not

Yes. I look at Smart similar to Memphis trading Shane Battier for the #7 from the Houston Rockets which became Rudy Gay.

A good trade for both sides. Houston got a top end role player to put alongside Yao & McGrady to build up their team. MEM traded their glue guy for a high upside SF in Rudy Gay to rebuild / retool their team.

I think Smart could get the C's a pick from 10-15 but the more ideal scenario would be a vet for vet trade.  Smart for a Collins type.

Yeah, John Collins would be interesting. A starting PF. Allow the C's to play bigger. Move Jaylen back to SG and Tatum back to SF. I would be happy with that.

There is an article out there that trades smart for j. Green tate and the 4th pick.. where do I sign

I'd do that, but why would Houston?

A Collins type but definitely not Collins whose year over year fg percentage, points and rebounds per has declined four straight years. He also shrinks in the playoffs and they play him less minutes per game when pressure is higher.

There is a reason every year Hawks try and dump him. Smart for Collins makes us worse.

I'd do that, but why would Houston?

To give Harden(?) an established backcourt partner.
But that package is way more than I expect them to pay.

What about Smart, Rob, and Pritchard for Simmons and Nurkic?

I am convinced Atlanta does not utilize Collins right. They have phased him out of the offense because of Trae and Murray. Think he is a change of scenery candidate.

I saw this one online:

Marcus Smart to San Antonio FOR McDermott, Tre Jones (Sign And Trade), 2025 1st round via ATL, 2027 1st round via ATL. 

Gives the team a legitimate shooter with experience, another young guard to develop, but also two future 1sts and a little bit of cap flexibility for potentially other moves with exceptions due to the new CBA rules.

Jones is interesting. A career 4.1:1 assist:turnover ratio (similarly elite at taking care of the ball to his brother). He's a complete non-shooter, similar to Smart in terms of 2PT % and 3PT %. He's a decent rebounder too, and gets almost as many steals as fouls. Interesting option.

Completely agree. He would thrive alongside a stretch big like Horford. Someone who can pass and clear the paint for him. The anti-Capela

My bias against trading Smart is probably colouring my thinking here, but I don't think we should be trading for anyone based on whether or not they thrive alongside Horford.
