    This trade is bananas. Why would Brad tear apart one of the strongest contending teams? KP is unproven in the playoffs while Smart is battle tested.

      It sounds like he really needed to make a big move with Porzingis, and after the Brogdon framework fell apart he wasn’t willing to nuke the whole trade. It is crazy though. I’ve been watching Smart for a long time. It’s gonna be weird without him on the team.___
