    Oh man, I trust Brad but this is a huge gamble. Smart is the heart & soul of the team and this will be a major shock to the locker room… The fans are going to absolutely hate the trade and will have very very little patience with Porzongis.

      It re-shapes the team. Running it back the same way wasn’t going to work. I like the shape up. Also ads a stretch 4 for them that changes their offensive dynamic. Smart is too inconsistent on offense and that definitely hurt them in the playoffs.
