Tonight was the epitome of Marcus. He shot poorly, took frustrating shots, played excellent defense, and made winning plays.  He’s one of the most unique players I’ve ever seen, and tonight summarized it in one game.

You have to resign him...no matter the cost.

I assume it was a massive grind too, based on the score.

I dont have a problem with most of his shots tonight, most of them were because the clock was running down or he was open. Sure, couldve shot better.

Not no matter the cost. Gotta squezze him for a team friendly deal, IMO. Anything over $10 million a year is too much and even then I think that's too much. The market is bad for him right now. Can't overpay for a bench player.

We have enough shooting firepower with Kyrie and Hayward coming back. Smart fits in like tony Allen as a defensive glue piece for a championship run

At the end of the game - Smart did Smart things. Some amazing defensive contests and a crucial rebound. Kept the team’s composure bringing the ball up when the youngsters were showing some nerves.

I'd easily pay $15 million. Not sure I'd start there but if that's what he wants. ...

Smart is the only player I have ever seen that can mess up for virtually an entire game and when you're done like 75% of people are like "Yeah we could never have won that without Smart."  He's probably an analytics nightmare (but also maybe a dream come true for math lovers). 

He's either the awesomest bad player in the history of the game or the worst awesome player in the history of the game. Either way that's awesome, right? And when awesome has AWESOME timing.....well then.
