Weird trade.
I would have thought that Rose was worth more than this. He hasn't been as good this year as he was last year, but he's still a useful player on an affordable, expiring contract. So it's not like this was a salary dump. Not sure Smith is even an asset anymore. I feel like the Pistons lost this deal.
Also, I'm a little surprised that NY is looking for guard depth. Barrett and Quickley need minutes, and Payton has been decent. But I guess if you have an opportunity to do a no-brainer like this trade, you do it. Worry about the rotation later.
