Great. Yes his shot didn't improve last year, but he also had two lingering hand injuries pulling down the percentages.

Smart is needed, especially in a match up vs. Golden State where perimeter D means everything.

On Smart:

I Hate tragically flawed players, but i do believe we need to see the course a little more with Smart, and I do want him on this team. You get a glimpse of elite play and then head scratchingly awful sequences moments later, but at this point we've seemed to learn to live with it. It feels like many of Smarts brightest moments are adrenaline fueled reactions to awful shots or moronic moments, so if thats how it works
..keep it coming i guess?

There is a possibility he is going to be used in a package for Kawhi?

I won't give up on Kawhi until the cold bitter end.

If this (Smart re-signing) comes to fruition I'm a happy camper. I do not, though, see him finishing out his contract in Boston.

I've always felt like Smart is meant to be a 20-26mpg adrenaline junkie off the bench and nothing more. With a healthy roster his role is exactly that. It's great to bring him in when our guys are either flat, or an opposing guard or wing is killing us.
He does special things when he isn't asked to do too much.
What gets Smart in trouble is when he's needed to run the team for large stretches, or when he feels like he needs to shoot the ball every time he's open.
He can actually be quite effective offensively when they post him up, or if they run p&rs with Smart and a rim runner.

He's drives me nuts sometimes, but I'm fairly confident his mere presence injects confidence in his teammates. Marcus is a pitbull and definitely a guy you want in your foxhole.

If he signs for 12-15 million he becomes a nice trade piece next summer
