Schroder was always going to be gone for a year no matter what because they wouldn't have been able to offer him a large enough raise for him to want to stick around if he's any good, and if he's bad then the Cs wouldn't want him to stick around.Not opposed
Hopefully this means Dennis is gone after a year and PP develops enough to start at G with Smart in 22-23. Or better yet, we get Beal or another superstar.
This is exactly what my thoughts are. He's got some serious limitations as a player, but I love rooting for guys like him. His effort is always beyond reproach.I'm excited to keep rooting for Marcus.
Doesn’t his increased salary make them more likely to be in the running for a third star?I don’t like this and I hope this doesn’t take them out of the running for a 3rd star.
Someone has to want him in a trade for a 3rd star. He is not nearly valued as high around the league as Celtics fans want to think he is.Doesn’t his increased salary make them more likely to be in the running for a third star?
What makes you say that?He is not nearly valued as high around the league as Celtics fans want to think he is.
That’s a very strong declarative statement about Smart’s trade value on a contract he agreed to literally 15 minutes ago. I think the 29 GMs will wait until the ink dries before divining if he is a positive or negative asset going forward.Someone has to want him in a trade for a 3rd star.

Celtics fan opinion about Smart seems decidedly mixed.Someone has to want him in a trade for a 3rd star. He is not nearly valued as high around the league as Celtics fans want to think he is.
I mean if GMs don't already know what they consider to be the proper value for every player in the league at any given time, they're really not doing their job.That’s a very strong declarative statement about Smart’s trade value on a contract he agreed to literally 15 minutes ago.

No, because his salary doesn’t change this season. However, Smart never made a lot of sense in a package for a star. Horford is the logical player to trade in any move for a star and his salary easily stacks with other guys on the roster to cover any matching needs if an opportunity arises.Doesn’t his increased salary make them more likely to be in the running for a third star?
Not that they would've wanted to anyway, but Smart now can't be traded for six months. I don't believe they've announced this years trade deadline date, but if it's around the same time as 2020, Smart can't be traded in season this year either.They could still trade him before the start of the season. Since the new deal starts in 22-23 presumably that trade kicker also only applies to trades after 21-22?
Mannix hoping for a Rubio-Smart trade
Ha! My 13 year old daughter has a poster of Smart in her bedroom and has a similar sentiment. Not that it means anything but I'm good with it as well.As my 14 y/o daughter said when I told the news: “Let’s go.”
In PBS we trust.
Isn't Beal always going to be a trade for matching contracts or S&T?Well, no more "Sign Brad Beal into cap space" plan for next season.
If you're going to commit this money to him don't you approach the rest of the offseason completely differently? You have no cap room next year now, so you can commit more than one year to someone without messing anything up.
Aside from that, this is an all right move. Probably right around his worth, so it isn't a negative value contract.
Good bye "sign Beal into cap space". Hello "sign and trade for Beal."Well, no more "Sign Brad Beal into cap space" plan for next season.

It actually increases his value imo as he’d be an expiring contract to the Wizards at the deadline with no certainty, actually an unlikelihood, that he’d remain.I don’t like this and I hope this doesn’t take them out of the running for a 3rd star.
That's so awesome. Let's fucking go!As my 14 y/o daughter said when I told the news: “Let’s go.”

Don’t mind the move in a vacuum but I was admittedly ready to move on from Smarf.
My thoughts exactly. His offense is always going to be what it is, but I'm hoping he can get back to being one of the best defensive 2s in the league.This doesn’t affect the Beal situation at all, and at under $20 mil per this is reasonable and he’s plenty moveable.
They were never signing Beal into cap space, they might have made noise about it, but it never made sense because Beal, Tatum Brown and 12 minimums was always a dogshit roster solution.Well, no more "Sign Brad Beal into cap space" plan for next season.

Agreed. I think it is more likely that Marcus will outperform his contract than underperform.This doesn’t affect the Beal situation at all, and at under $20 mil per this is reasonable and he’s plenty moveable.
Someone always has to Armond in the punchbowl
Smith has trended really negative this offseason. Not sure why.
I like this post.Let’s win it all with
PP
MS
JB
JT
RB
And then have the debate about Danny’s drafting
I don;t think he's negative. He's correctly pointing out that star trades aren't THAT common, and that making yourself flexible enough to make them is good, planning on making one isn't, because too many things are beyond your control. Also, a lot of it is that he responds on twitter, and most of his timeline is toxic waste spewed by barely literal mouthbreathers.Smith has trended really negative this offseason. Not sure why.
I'm glad I'm not the only one racking my brain on that one.Who is RB?
Guessing TL/RW.
