Disappointed. Fireworks are blazing, and Smart still hasn't re-signed here? Bummer
Anyways, I honestly feel a lot more confident we're bringing back Smart now. Idk if it's for the QO or some long term deal, but my hope is that we keep Smart at something around 3/33M, or 4 years at 44-48M (11-12M/Year). Might look like a lot now, but a few years from now could look like a bargain and I think at the right price, having someone like Smart on a championship team is vital.
We'd also stay under the tax this year, and if some disgruntled star does become available like 2 years from now, we could use Smart's salary to help facilitate a deal (as of now, we don't have any contract between 7-19M so it's hard to facilitate many deals w/o gutting our roster, as we've seen with Kawhi, Butler, Davis, etc. trade idea rumors).
