    Smart wasn't traded at 24. He was traded at 29 as a DPOY winner who was 1st team defense for 3 straight years and has shown solid PG skills. Smart spent the 5 years between Ant's age and his own building value. Value like performing in the playoffs for 108 games, 73 as a starter. Smart's value is the established consistent value of an experienced veteran. Ant, not so much

    OG DeRozen CamJohnson DFS Barnes JohnCollins BruceBrown Porzingis HerbJones Hachimua DillonBrooks are a few names off the top of my head. Heck even Larry Nance had good stretches.

    Not saying they'd all be perfect or attainable but we've seen many of them moved for less than a first round pick.

    Plus Smart wasn’t recorded answering a question about sucking his own Dick.

    I’m more interested about whether they pick up Knox.

    I have been saying for months that Draymond is the guy I think Dame has been recruiting. He’d allow Grant to slide to small forward.

    Dame
    Sharpe
    Grant
    Draymond
    Nurk.

    Scoot is the first player off the bench.

    For the 30-40 games this lineup actually plays in a season we'll do really well!

    I also mean Dame; he's not going be reliable for more than 60-65 games a season anymore (call it a hunch)... Dray is old too. I really don't like this "hey if all our old guys and fragile guys pan out we're golden" setup.

    it would certainly make things interesting, but I just can't believe Green would leave millions on the table and join the Blazers instead

    I guess he could say to the Warriors "S&T me to Portland or I'll sign there for the MLE", but that seems real far-fetched

    would that be tampering by Dame?

    Most of them are, there's 30 starters and not many of these guys rank in the top15 at their position.

    If Dame gets Draymond to push for this as when we got Grant it could happen.

    Draymond tells Golden State trade me to Portland or I sign with Sacramento.

    Blazers send Ant to Spurs, Spurs send a player to GS, GS gets young cheap player and pick(s).
