I fully admit that Smart is a risk. however i think his personality would fit great with Kidd and would be a similar add that Tucker was to Houston, Portis was to the Bucks and Matrix was to Dallas. He has a defensive IQ that would fit perfect next to Luka and when focused has the ability to raise his level of defense to elite level (of course not all the time). In the playoffs this is super necessary. He would also come in and immediately be the captain of the defense vocally.
On offense he is definitely an irrational confidence guy but he is an off ball play maker, great screen setter, speeds up the offense and moves the ball extremely well. His lack of consistent shooting is why i think it is imperative to get someone like Collins at the 3 or 4 who can create their own offense and give the team the offensive juice it is missing. the combo of Smart and Collins in the starting lineup i think would be a net positive for Dallas over Brunson/Maxi.
