It took him multiple seasons to adjust to the three point line but he’s a legit NBA stretch big now. He’d fit like a glove here and we could move on from Kleber.
Adding a rotation caliber big who can shoot it is a HUGE hole on the roster Imo. Smith would once again be a player who’d help right away but still has plenty of room to improve given that he’s still so young. I really hope we’re in the mix for him.
A note on the Smith ideas --
He seems desirable when the price tag is the 5.x salary he declined. Then it doesn't seem much of a stretch from where the Mavs are, to open up some room somehow, for a SNT to add him.
But what happens if his price tag is much higher? The money gets harder to find. And simply keeping Kleber at 11M makes more sense after all.
