Smart is the opposite of the type of PG/SG this team needs right now


What is the opposite?

Young pass first guy who can shoot threes at a high clip?

Smart on a min would be amazing as long as he isn’t chucking up shots. Just defend baby.

Smart can still defend. He's only 31 and would certainly give us another tough physical guy.

Not sure what you are expecting with a vet minimum type contract but you can certainly do a lot worse than Smart.

This fanbase is fried. Anyone complaining about signing Marcus Smart to a min deal is an idiot.

If the real Ian Begley is always wrong then the fake Ian Begley must be correct… that is the Seinfeld logic.

yeah in 2023-24 season he would have ranked 2nd in the league in steal per 36 minutes. Also Memphis was 5.4 pts per 100 possessions better on DEF with him on the floor rather than off. Small 20 game sample size because he was injured.

tough to really get a sense in his 34 games this year because he was on Washington as well but his on/off splits on defense were promising

in 2024/25 season:
Memphis was 4.6 pts better on DEF per 100 possessions with him on the court than off
Washington was 7.8 pts better on DEF per 100 possessions with him on the court than off

The shooting is streaky and iffy but he is still a really good perimeter defender.

Who is Ian Bagely and does he have the sauce on lox?

Smart would be an awesome pick up.

Mitch / Yabu
KAT / Hart
OG / Smart
Mikal / Deuce
Brunson / Clarkson

No one has to play over 31-32 mins. Nasty mix of offense/defense if everyone buy into a title run.
