Awful return.  Belinelli would be a nice piece but he doesn't come close to Smart when it comes to overall impact on winning games.  No doubt he is an intelligent and skilled offensive player but the lack of athleticism would negate this against elite teams.

If you are just going to dump Smart it could be could be good to pick up an offensive guard who conducts himself as a pro and could bring some shooting to the second unit. The Atlanta 2nd round pick would be a very high second round pick.

Neurotic Guy:
Is this your trade idea or an actual rumor you've heard from some reliable source?

I absolutely hate it if true.  Not that Belinelli is worthless to this team -- the added shooting punch would be great.  But Marcus' value (IMO) far exceeds Marco's.   The loss of Smart's defensive presence and versatility (and play-making capability) at the end of games is hard to replace. Marco is also expiring.     

Tyreke, on the other hand, would be good value for Smart -- he can guard multiple positions and can pass the ball in addition to his scoring skill.
