Letting go of one in this situation also means you have close to zero good defenders left. Finding someone to fill Smart’s shoes in the inevitable situation where he leaves for more money elsewhere will be very difficult.

Competitive-Tree1434

Yeah but if I’m smart, why wouldn’t I wanna play point guard? With Reaves and Luka, he’s gonna have to play the 3. At Houston he’s going to a place where the point guard is coming off blowing his entire knee. He will get more mins with a former coach - Udoka. He’s an Udoka guy. I’d see why he would want to do it.

All of their best lineups had Smart in it, can make an argument that hes been their 2nd most important player behind Luka. (Obviously not 2nd best)

Mukbeth | PHI

That LeBron James guy seems pretty important too

No-Island7411

24 | 13 hours ago

I mean yeah, but his importance isnt “that” big especially in regular season(when he understandably doesnt give consistant effort on defense) if you have Luka on your team because of overlap in skillsets and his inability to hit 3s this year. Most important thing around Luka is Spacing and defense and Lebron doesnt fill either of these roles, atleast not this past season when he was in major slump from 3 and teams started to leave him open.

Obviously Lebron is the 2nd best player on that team and his importance goes way up once Luka (or even Austin) is injured.

Seeing as the combo of AR, Luka and Smart were in their best net rating 3 man, 4 man and 5 man lineups, yeah.

And I’m pretty sure their 3-man lineup was a top 10-20 in the entire league last season. (They had a net rating of +23.5).

They should probably know that he’s a huge priority.

incredibleamadeuscho | Lakers

Smart was played mainly at Small Forward last season, and Luka guards forwards.

Traditional-Goal-229

He guards SF and up better than faster players. The data says he is a SF. If you throw out his height, and looked at the data, he is a SF. Any team that gets him is getting a SF to guard SF.

Dopeez | Spurs

He’s a wing at this point. You could easily play him next to Doncic and Reaves.

I think you’re right. I also think playing for LA with Luka and Lebron put a spotlight on him that he hasn’t had since his Boston days. I’m sure he misses that and feels a little slighted for the way it ended. So what better way than to Ball out for their biggest rival. Either way, no concrete evidence, just that feeling last year was his last great year. It felt like when Rondo and Dwight raised their game for LA in their twilight years of NBA.

He’s probably not worth much more than that per year, but I could see the Lakers or another team giving him more years on a relatively small contract. I don’t think he is worth the MLE. He’s a solid rotation player with decent defense and offensive limitations not to mention some health concerns on the wrong side of 30.

Although sometimes guys like these get those sweetheart 1 year deals that are way overpriced from a team with ample cap room since they have to spend the money anyway and want a veteran.

This sub was clowning us when we signed Smart. Now yall are clowning us for losing him. Hmm

Regardless of what people said when you signed him, losing him for free would objectively be very bad for you.

He played in 54 of the possible 164 games the 2 years before last season so it seemed reasonable to assume he was he would have been injury prone still.

You’re right I’m glad we’re avoiding the inevitable regression to injury proneness phew

Honestly I’m still amazed Pelinka got him and Ayton for that cheap seeing how they’re both looking for more now.

They had no value when he acquired them, they were both bought out

[Stein & Fischer] League sources say that Marcus Smart, who is expected to draw interest from Houston and possibly other teams in free agency, is very much giving consideration to declining his $5.4 million player option for next season with the Lakers.
