The only thing is are the Mavs inclined to take back Smart with his chucker tendencies and a kobe-like attitude in late game situations? Tough to say. Smart on paper reads to me a lot like JRich but a worse scorer.
So I like this idea a lot. I didn't realize Smart's stock was so low. This as certainly as low as its ever been. I like that Mavs have J Rich as a potential role/matching piece.
I would do Smart for Rich all day every day. Smart does have chucking tendencies but he is a much better player than J Rich, especially defensively. If Smart has worn out his welcome it's a great opportunity for Mavs to "buy low" on him. I still think he has more trade value than J Rich but I am not sure what the Mavs have that the Celtics would want.
