Of course I like Avery and miss him, but -
Smart's value is almost immeasurable. He means more to the C's than any other team in the league. I hope we can get him long term for 10 per. I love Marcus Smart. Especially when he's hitting his shots. When he's not? I just hope it doesn't hurt us too much. I cannot think of too many C's over the years that I've enjoyed watching so much. I replay him several times a every game doing just simple things...boxing out, setting picks, diving for the ball, playing D, making long outlet passes, rebounding.... Marcus plays basketball the way Red would have loved, except for the 3 pointers. I can honestly say that there is not 1 player in the NBA I enjoy nearly as much.
