I don't like Brad cutting Smart's minutes since IT has come along. He's big enough to play the 3 for small spurts against most teams, so take away some of Turner's minutes not Smart's minutes.
I think BS is more concerned with match-ups than minutes. I think he thinks he has an advantage with IT + Turner that he doesn't have with IT + Smart. He's probably enamored of the creativity that both IT and Turner bring to the offence. I'd expect for him to play Smart more when he feels we need more defensive intensity.
Still. I won't be happy if Smart doesn't get a consistent 30+ minutes. Smart, Young, and IT are the players on this team that I enjoy watching most.
