Obviously, investigators should check for/rule out massive deception on the woman's part. But I'd be astonished if they found it.

Maybe, Smart for Collins + 1 pick?

No. Get over your fandom, this is serious.
One of my other favorites to sign is Richaun Holmes. I sure know how to pick 'em.
But I am serious. I've been a counselor in these situations. I want these guys to heal and not throw away the amazing opportunity they've achieved. They are young and it's not too late to learn and change. It's hard to break the stigma though.
This is still alleged, he deserves his day in court.
With that said...
I don't want his world to end forever, I hope he finds gainful employment AFTER he's paid his time and gotten help. I just don't think it should be on a team I cheer for. I believe in rehabilitation, I believe those people deserve to make a liveable wage again after they have paid their dues and gotten serious and lasting help. I just think part of their dues is the loss of the life as they knew it.
I'm not even talking about money, just the privilege of being an NBA player, who is a role model. I use to think people needed to raise their kids not to follow or look up to any old person just because they are rich/entertainers/stars, but then I realized there are so many kids out there without someone to guide them and who have no parents/terrible ones, mentors, or caretakers. Adults struggle with not idolizing stars, what can we expect out of kids.

ATL wouldn't have a need for Smart now. And I doubt we move him.
White/Grant/pick probably gets you Collins. Not a fan of the defensive stepback though and Collins has complained about role before. But it could be worth exploring
Smart / Brogdon
Brown
Tatum
Collins / Gallo
RWilliams / Horford
You'd really need to use the TPE to land a wing though. And you're losing two great defensive pieces for someone you really don't need. I don't like the move. But value would seem reasonable.

There is some nostalgia draw as the Lakers were his original team. And, it's LA.

Kawhi was a star.

Yes they were, but they waived him and Wash picked him up off waivers. I believe I'd be a bit bitter at that. Worse than getting traded. At least by getting traded, like we did with Crower for instance, it shows we had some value in him. Getting waived is like the Lakers escorted him to the door by security after he cleaned out his locker.

I think it's better to start Smart for a few reasons:
1) Should ALWAYS have at least 2 of Tatum/Brown/Brogdon on the floor together so you've got two 20 ppg type scorers out there.
2) Should NEVER have Smart and White out there as it's a very non-complimentary pairing.
Accomplishing both of those goals becomes way easier to facilitate with Smart starting and Brogdon off the bench.
So basically you want White to split 48 minutes with Smart as his backup? And have Brogdon be the primary backup for both Jays?
Yeah, pretty much. I'd probably do this in the regular season:
PG: Smart (27), White (21)
SG: Brown (20), Brogdon (28)
SF: Tatum (33), Brown (13), Gallo (2)
PF: Horford (6), GWilliams (24), Gallo (18)
C: RWilliams (27), Horford (21)
By playey:
Tatum/Brown - 33
Brogdon - 28
Smart/Horford/RWIlliams - 27
GWilliams - 24
White - 21
Gallo - 20

A star that just played one season for Toronto.

Right. Because he had 1 year on his deal.
