I get annoyed by these click bait guys that don’t pay attention. The Pacers 2nd and 3rd string centers both are out for the season. They just signed Moses Brown off the scrap heap to back up Turner. I doubt they will trade him. And Drummond starts more than Embid. Probably not going anywhere either.
Aloha Tom, another trade machine only trade. Not sure why the Trailblazers or the Griz would do that. First there has never been anything coming from the Grizzlies camp to indicate that Smart is even available. And even if he were it would not be for that package. They are set in the backcourt with Ja and Bane. They have a 3 point marksman in Kennard and Pippin jr who is proving to be a quality backup PG. Smart was brought in for defensive purposes. He fills the hole left by Brooks leaving. DLO would not be of value at all. And Hood-Shapino isn’t valuable for a contender plus they would have to either cut him or another player and eat their salary. As for Williams they have a lot of bigs so adding a player of Rui’s caliber isn’t going to help them tank. He isn’t an expiring contract and they are trying to move veterans. Besides that trade sends them over the tax line and I doubt they are willing to pay luxury taxes to make that trade.
I think it will depend on his defense. I do think his minutes will increase a lot, even if he comes off the bench.

There is no Nick Clayton. Perhaps Nick Claxton?
He’s only missed 263 games out of a possible 410. That’s great security for AD!!!
