Obviously. This team has issues that a trade with Utah won´t solve, but depending on who might come here maybe we can find some stability in the roster.

Langford is such a waste of physical attributes and talent !
Reminds me a lot of Joe Forte and will be out of the league playing overseas soon ...has no drive or fire

IMO, this is a bit over the top. He may very well be out of the league in the next 2-3 years but he's not a total slug which is basically what you're suggesting here. I wasn't amped with the selection. But he has shown a willingness to be physical and work on defense. Sticks his nose into the fray. And work on off-ball offense when he was a pretty ball dominant player in college. As for others just poo-pooing the injuries and lost practice repetitions as a result, it's being a bit dense.

Now if one wanted to claim he isn't a super-motivated player and should probably have better developed his at the rim finishing ability despite the setbacks otherwise, that's fair.

All that said, I'm not against trading him and particularly with the need to upgrade starters on this team, it is the likely outcome for him as he does seem like he'll top out as a reserve level player.

dude is oozing with size and talent but just has no drive or desire or fire
If I saw him on the street I would scream at him to wake up and get his head on straight
nobody is trading for him !!

No! Don't give in Curm! He is not going anywhere!! I can't! Hell, didn't someone report POBO favors Smart? I'm holding onto that, because I don't want to hate POBO. If you give up, the universe will hear you and make it so! Just keep holding onto the fact that he's been traded every season by RGM and he's still here!!

Wait, do you know something? Just destroy me now! Pull the tape!! Let me get some hitters (unsavory folk) ready!

he's got a floor as a decent backup shooting guard.. Yabu was a waste of physical attributes

yabs at least had some drive and fire, he just couldn't get off the ground ha
if RL had yabs' drive and fire he would be ok ...very good switchable rotation piece/fringe starter. In reality however ol Rome will be in europe getting paid to do his same thing he did here, grossly underaxhieve !

I don't think it is even that bad he is playing 18 mpg, if we got him at the end of the first round its fine he is probably going to get a contract in the league in the mle range. I am strictly down on his trade value as a former lottery pick.

soft and has no desire to be great ! coasting on his innate attributes ! NOBODY is trading for him or giving him MLE money
Why would any franchise want him in their lockerroom. when he is done here the Pacers will give him a look and then its off to underaxhieve overseas

I have no problem trading Smart, as long as it's part of blowing up the whole damn unwatchable team.

If the Bulls can get a disabled player exception large enough to Cover Schroder's deal, they could have him for Javonte Green as far as I'm concerned. The Bulls have a $5M trade exception but it's too small for Schroder.
