IT4 right now is not going anywhere
However lets say on draft night Dallas offers a top 5 pick
And Celts have a chance to draft Jackson and Fultz or Monk
You would have to think hard about this trade off
lol at age 26 and a top 3 scorer in the NBA there is absolutely, positively, ZERO chance that we would trade IT for Jackson or Monk.
IT is scoring 30 points a game in the NBA and we are 2nd in the East. He's not leaving unless we get a true All Star in return.
IT will probably be a starting All Star next year if he keeps playing like this, he ain't getting traded for Monk or Jackson. Both great players, but you don't trade guys like IT for them unless you are blowin' it up and slightly desperate.
He is 28 and will command max
A little scoring machine but has defensive limitations and you require a certain type of supporting cast to make his game fly.
Have you seen Monk play? He is like another IT4 but much taller and not a defensive liability
If our pick and Mavs pick = Jackson and Monk, I would pull the trigger
Easy choice then to sign Smart to a long term deal. Perhaps AB
Triboy youve got to stop with these sensationalized player evaluations.
Saying that Malik Monk "is like another IT4 but much taller and not a defensive liability"
implies he will be a perennial MVP contender.
