It's pretty clear watching these games Smart is a must sign. I figure Ainge must know that, since he's been watching, too. How much he gets depends on the cap and how they manipulate it.
We can give Marcus Smart whatever he wants but giving out a crazy big contract, ala Tristian Thompson, can kill a teams further flexibility. I am sure Danny will do the right thing. The Teams that could really use Smart to get over the playoff hump mostly don't have cap space.
Pacers have 8 million but The Celtics would probably go over that.
The Sixers could take Smart and that would make the rivalry even more intense.
The Jazz have 11 million they could offer Smart. The Jazz would be a really good fit for Marcus.
The Lakers could give him a big contract if they strike out on LeBron and George etc.... Marcus Smart and Paul George would be a crazy big up grade for the Lakers but I'm not sure you can start Smart and Ball in the backcourt. That's a terrible shooting backcourt.
All the other teams with space stink but maybe someone like The Hawks, Kings, Suns, Bulls, Magic, or Nets, make a massive overpay just to make a splash and try to change there teams culture.
I hope we keep Smart.
