If we did trade Smart what could we get for him. TP for any solid idea. Lots of options with a 12 million dollar salary. I'll throw out one. Smart and pick for Eric Gordon. Smart may fit well next to the two ball hogs. Texas is home. If Chris Paul is staying could go after Schroder 15 million. Or Roberson and Noel 12 million combined.
Gallinari would be an interesting target. Presumably, Gallo has no future there because they are entering a long term rebuild. He has 1 year left on his deal and will almost certainly leave the team next summer. So it is time to cash in on him before that happens. Gallo would be awesome in Brad Stevens' offense. Perfect fit. He has the perimeter game. The ball-handling. Good passer. Gets to the FT line. Nails 3s on a high clip at a high rate. He would also give the team more size at PF. He could be a wonderful 6th man that comes in and changes games. Changes opposing team's gameplans - because he is such a matchup problem. Allows Boston bigger lineups at forward.Smart has that OKC connection. Ainge would probably have to give up a pick as well. Smart would be a good fit next to SGA in the backcourt. Help SGA grow. Able to play on and off the ball. Give OKC that defensive mentality that Presti values so highly.
Honestly i cannot see an allnba defemder on a great great contract who has steadily improved his offense should be traded at all.He and brown are ideal fits next to Kemba.

Not saying I'd want this to happen, but the Celtics could move Hayward, Langford, Semi, and RWIII for Steven Adams and Gallinari. The deal makes complete sense for the Thunder, as it gives them a couple of young players for their rebuild and gets them out of the luxury tax (I think). I think I'd want one of their 5 million first round picks in the deal. OKC would likely make it lottery protected. The Celtics would now have a starting lineup of Kemba, Brown, Tatum, Gallinari, and Adams.
