I'm just not getting the fixation on making Smart a starter. First, as has been mentioned many times now, Smart's main issue the last 2-3 seasons...
I’d rather start Rui. I would have Smart as first guy off the bench though. I’d sub him in for AR.
Neglected to mention in that clip that they were able to add them all as buyouts for MLE and BAE money only, thus preserving ALL of their assets....
I’m looking forward to the Luka revenge tour coming up!!
It’s a good problem to have.
Rob did a bang up job with the FA buyout market. I honestly don’t see how he could have improved on what he achieved getting a starting caliber...
I’m with you on all of this Pika. I don’t see Smart as a starter but he should be the first guy off the bench. Start Rui for continuity and for...

What’s all the Jrue Holiday talk about? I love Jrue and wanted to get him a couple years ago before the C Bags swiped him. But now? I don’t see...

Absolutely Summer League isn't the determiner but it certainly did not help his cause. I think our focus will be on developing LaRavia, Bronny and...
I think the writing was on the wall with the LaRavia signing that they were done with Knecht. The summer league performance or lack of was...
Word is that Luka had to do with recruiting Smart and I like that. I think he will be a good mentor for Bronny and help infuse our team with some...
For me this is pretty ideal.
I think that'll be Gabe now that we have Smart. I believe Klieber will get some burn as stretch 5 off the bench. Unless there is some really...
Love this move. Smart is a great addition. Also makes us less dependent on Gabe.

Yeah I’m satisfied with the roster now with the addition of Smart as a former DPOY as POA defensive guard. We’re ready to go. Still have all our...
