Sure, why not? He's on a regular NBA contract, he can play there his whole career.

He also reminds me as more of Dunleavy than Donyell. If Smailagic can become 1/4 Žarko Čabarkapa, 1/4 Troy Murphy, 1/4 Dunleavy, 1/4 Donyell then I would be very happy.
Power forward is the Warriors dearest position. Draymond. Then Paschall who I don't think is good as a small forward. Then Looney and Chriss, our undersized centers that are arguably power forwards. Then Toscano-Anderson and Wiggins that can play power forward.
Is Smailagic still eligible to play in Santa Cruz? His flashes of talent make me not want to give up on him but I am not sure he is ready to play meaningful minutes a stretch shooting big man yet. He might be ready in 2022. He is very young but he did not improve much last year.
Maybe Paschall will be proven enough to have significant trade value by the end of next year and trading Paschall could open up a spot for Smailagic as Draymond's back up.

He's a Barnes style hybrid 3/4 that doesn't have the ballhandling chops to create for himself, but he's an instinctive passer and if he hits open shots, he could eat a few minutes at the 4. Smailagic doesn't have any physical advantages at the 4. If he's going to be more than garbage flotsam, it'll be at the 5 with a respectable three point shot. His defense needs some work, but he has impressive moments on offense; there have been a few nice passes on the move, he has a convincing pump fake that lends itself to driving opportunities, and he had that amazing play where he fooled Dwight Howard with a fake dribble hand off and burned him on the way to the rim.
