Oubre for Smart straight swap??

I’d be ecstatic. Trading Mr. Image for Mr. Execution
That would be a good trade, and I don't want to trade Oubre for a bag of chips and like Kelly on the team.

Of course not.

Not willingly, agreed. You never know, though.

You'd really be good with one of the all-time floppers?

I will only support it if Smart promises to do fashion shows every week and gets color contacts to match Oubre's dreamy eyes.

Everybody flops, either on offense or defense (or both).

I like Oubre on this team, but I would absolutely swap him for Smart.

Again, this is likely all moot because even if Boston gets swept out of the playoffs, they aren't trading Smart unless he forces his way out.

ESPN is reporting that Giannis will be named the MVP. Not a big surprise. I don't get why they wait so long to announce it, in this case after the relevant player has already been eliminated from the playoffs. Oops.

Oubre doesn’t fit on Boston.

Everybody may flop but everybody doesn't flop like Smart. He is one of the all-time best! I've seen him flop with a foot or maybe even more between him and another guy. Nobody flops as much or as well as Smart. You are selling him way short in the flop category.

Was Smart a free agent the year we used our cap space on Ariza?

I've been extremely impressed with Smart's shooting this year. He took a huge leap here.

Lakers wiping the floor with the Nuggets. Looks like a quick series might be coming. 106-79 right now.

I don’t know what was wrong with the clippers, but I don’t think they were completely there. A lot of their guys missed major time in the bubble.
Funny, same is true of Denver.
Trendon Watford. Please and thank you.

Heat vs Lakers for the finals. I know the Lakers are favored, but I think the Heat are going to win. Easily the best defensive team they’ve faced. If Heat are hitting 3’s, they’ll take it.

I completely agree. I want to put a little coin on it but I don't have the chance.
