Sounds about right for 6th man

Told y’all Smart was gon get $12-15M

 

[papichino]

Good move!!! Welcome back Smart

 

[antidope]

Good move for both sides on that one. It's still Raptors > though.

 

[B Sox]

That's a fair deal. There was no way he wasn't getting brought back for $15M or less.

Your Raptors, your Spurs?

Dont do it

congrats to Marcus. 50 Ms ain't no joke.

Probably could've got more next summer if he took the QO and bet on himself but turning down 50Ms would've been stupid.

How does Smart's deal affect Kyrie/Rozier, if at all?

As long as Kyrie stays, Terry is going to be gone. Unfortunately.

If Kyrie does decide to go somewhere for some reason, they'll keep Terry.

Kyrie on the block like figueroa

I dunno man. A bit difficult to justify giving much more than $13M a year to a guard that can't shoot. The number seems pretty fair.

Unless you're a star, take the money when it's offered.

I agree. We've seen several times now where doing the opposite (Noel for example) has come back to bite players.

 

[bostoiah]

Good ****. We need Smart

Rozier will be the luxury tax casualty. Heyward/Smart will split back up point duties.

I’d personally move off of Kyrie if he misses playoff games again but that’s not happening in reality.

Would probably be too late then to move off him. They're decision needs to come by February.
I think he is leaving no matter how he acts now. Boy is a weird one man.

 

[getback]

If he does leave, it's for "non-basketball...or lifestyle" reasons.

Cause the C's are setup pretty good for the next decade.

Weird dude can never tell his intentions

 

[dacomeup]

I agree. We've seen several times now where doing the opposite (Noel for example) has come back to bite players.

But with all of these teams saving up for next offseason, and some teams likely to strike out on their top targets -- I might've bet on myself.
