I'm tempted to put up a poll to further gauge people's attitude to the Smart deal, but no.
I remember when the Avery 4 year ~32million deal dropped in 2014, and people lost their mind. By year 4 it was one of the best contracts in the NBA. Avery struggled in Detroit, but so do a lot of guys.
So my question is how can it be compared to that deal?
11.2million or whatever it is reaaally isn't that much more, especially by 2018.
SO.. 1) Is Marcus more useful to this team (his heart and Celticsishness aside)
2) Would you trade him straight up for Avery's 2 year deal (chemistry building aside)
3) Are you confident that by the end of year one, the remaining three years will look stupidly cheap?
