i trade Smart in a second..think im only one who doesnt care for him
You absolutely are not - I'm right there with you lol
Ironically this is EXACTLY the idea I thought up this morning and brought up in one of the threads. Except that to my knowledge none of those three teams have cap space, so my idea was:
* Boston sends Gordon Hayward to Philly ($32,700,690)
* Philly sends Jimmy Butler to Houston in S&T
* Houston sends Clint Capella ($16,896,552) and PJ Tucker ($8,349,039) and Nene ($3,825,360) to Boston
Philly would be taking a gamble on Hayward - but if he proves healthy and returns to form, he'd be a PERFECT fit there.
His outside shooting ability is exactly what Philly needs, and he has a modest enough ego that he will probably have no problems taking a #3 role next to Embiid and Simmons. If it doesn't work out, then he becomes an expiring contract next season so the risk isn't THAT high.
Houston gets their man in Butler.
Boston picks up a young starting calibre center who is locked in to a bargain contract for the next 3-4 years, and a serviceable and versatile role player in Tucker.
Boston could then move forward with a starting 5 of:
Clint Capella
Jayson Tatum
Jaylen Brown
Marcus Smart
Kemba Walker
