Delusional

Guy on Lakers forum .. love this cat, wants Reaves gone .. like 20 ppg 3rd options grow on trees in the NBA ..

but his take on Smart .. 15 ppg and solid defense off the bench would make him the most valuable role player on the team.

Well yes, it might .. so 10 YEARS into a career that shows a 10 ppg average .. lets see how often Smart hit that magic number .. and that would be .. ZERO times. Close but no cigar career high of 14.5 and his last THREE seasons have all been single digit.

So .. how many are expecting that 15 per game?? Can't even call him a 3 and D guy, though he did hit a career best 39% last season, which is the first time since 2019 he's been at or above 35%

Solid D would be great .. but his D ratings have been 116 or higher 2 of the last 3 years, so not exactly expecting DPOY candidate at this point. It seems like better options might be out there, but this is the guy Luka wanted. Hopefully Luka is a better LuGM than Lebron has been a LeGM
