Marcus Smart to the Dubs!?

I would pull the trigger and if the warriors could they should get Okongwu and Azubuike

With it

interesting thought.. from Bostons prospective, I think they might say “ well we are still too small” obviously Dray can play the 5.. but Embiid, Bam, Giannis you put Dray on them?

Athletic Alchemy

He fits I believe, but I just don’t trust his body.

Athletic Alchemy

If Bostons locker room irreparably damaged from this, a bit like that dray Kd fight, and we saw that costed us KD (he claims this was the reason but we all know GSW would of traded dray if KD asked), maybe Boston wants to move on from him, would they do a straight up trade for dray? I know his value has dropped this season, but Boston replace there heart and soul with a player with championship pedigree and get a straight up winner who still good defensively, we get some youth and maybe the best perimeter defender. No idea if salaries would work tho,

Is there another disgruntled vet guard we could snag in the same context? Eric Gordon on his post bubble healthy upswing? Is he priced out of the convo? Definitely haven't checked the numbers to know if that idea is real but I find myself searching for other ideas. I Like serge too. The other brother, Jeff curry, is it? would be nice for sure. Maybe somebody's someone should marry an antetokumpbo

Eric Edelmann

Yep-that's what I was trying to say about Montrez. He kind of got exposed. There are other players out there in the sea this year.

Paul Hanson

I think the MLE post covid might net a player you couldn’t normally get. That and we should still be very appealing destination. Don’t want Trez tho! No 3 no D

Athletic Alchemy

Ideally you get some size with one of the picks. But Serge would be amazing. I think he priced himself out with his bubble performance. Maybe Noel in OKC, but he is a little light in the britches

Athletic Alchemy

It feels like it would be all the way good or all the way bad.. no in between.

Athletic Alchemy

I agree.. Russ basically broke the concept. Smart shoots well enough you could truly test it. And he is probably the closest thing to Tucker. Dray is our Russ tho!

Athletic Alchemy

I like it. Wiseman could be great but probably isn't a 'win now' addition that makes sense for the Dubs. Not sure Marcus Smart will be available as I can't see the Celtics giving him up. That will be an interesting locker room with Draymond and Marcus on the same team-I do like what both bring and if they stay on focus could really cause a lot of problems. Looks like Miami is arriving a year early-well, it's almost when the 20-21 season should really begin at this point. There should be a lot of interesting free agent choices this off season-there might be some really interesting players available. Ironic how now that the Clippers lost there's probably less of a market for Montrezz Harrell than before-based on how he played the Dubs last year I might be interested in him but he got completely outplayed by Jokic this postseason.

Paul Hanson

Who else do you think the dubs should go after in free agency if they do this trade? I still think we need a designated rim protector or true center in some form and Wiseman could be that and be able to run the court as well. As good as Draymond is defensively, I don't know well he'll be able to play 5 in our small ball line up in long spurts especially if his shooting doesn't get any better. And our other centers in Chriss and Looney are very good, but Chriss relies pretty heavily on athleticism and both on timing to defend well. I don't know it seems like we haven't had a real good sized rim protector since Bogut and I kinda miss have that insurance inside. That being said, I'd still probably do the trade. We need some more toughness and bodyguards on the team.

I like the concept. Wiseman will be a bust, I think. There should be a good player available at 14. My worry is the potential clash between Draymond and Smart, two alpha dogs.

Hey Alch, what are your thoughts on micro ball? Everyone trashed it because the Rockets lost, but I saw a whole different thing that no one agrees with. The Rockets legit could've beaten the Lakers if they had real shooters. Tucker, Roco, McLemore, Rivers and Green hesitated to shoot whenever they felt the close out coming, most of the time they passed the ball, moved it around like crazy and turned it over or got a terrible shot off. Idc how much people bring up their defense, Rockets lost because their offense didn't work, up to game 4 the lakers averaged 109 ppg to the rockets 106 (which is terrible, they put up 110 agasint us last year). They would've won if they had real shooters like Steph, Klay, Redick, Bertans, Gary Trent, Hield, etc. that didn't hesitate from a little close out. So, do you think we could win with Smart and Wiggins standing on the Corners, Green dribbling the ball and Steph and Klay running around? Smart doesn't hesitate, Wiggins shoots his best from the corner and he can attack the rim too, while Steph and Klay are unstoppable, if Green could shoot 36% from the top of the key I don't think you can stop that team.

José Francisco

Im kind of a blind optimistic homer and want steph/klay/dray retiring together on the dubs with 8 chips tho :^)

Kyle Most

Never even heard of him! 😀

Athletic Alchemy

He has come off the bench most his career.. behind the splash he should have no problem with it.

Athletic Alchemy

Yeah they bounce back extend it, maybe they just say well, we just needed Gordon.. but how they go down matters. They will win GM3.. but they get the doors blown off in a close out gm idk!

Athletic Alchemy

I mean you could leave him! When he is open he knocks m down! It’s the off the bounce jacks that become a problem.

Athletic Alchemy

I dont think id do it, marcus smart gives us another guy that teams can help off of on offense. Another defender is great, but realistically in the playoffs, they're always going to target our weakest link, so i feel like it wouldnt do much

Kyle Most

If Giannis stays in MIL, then this would be a great option, but Smart may not fully buy in to coming off the bench. Although, I’m loving the idea of a potential bench including: Smart/Bowman, Lee/Mulder, EP, Bey, and Chriss/Reed.

Oh and I want Precious

I would like to see what Wisemen looks like next to those wings... Curry Smart Curry Wiggins Dray As a closing a unit ...has a potential to be the best not only defensive but offensive closing unit in basketball,,,and it be nice having a change from some of our shy shooters off the bench from previous years to have to deal with Smart losing a couple games cuz he’s outta pocket,,,the energy from the big shots would end up in more victories and Dray wouldn’t feel burdened to take so many I think for it to be a real possibility They would need to be swept in the series

Stevie Ray

Give me Xavier Tillman over Reed.
