I would do Smart for Rich all day every day. Smart does have chucking tendencies but he is a much better player than J Rich, especially defensively. If Smart has worn out his welcome it's a great opportunity for Mavs to "buy low" on him. I still think he has more trade value than J Rich but I am not sure what the Mavs have that the Celtics would want.
Ainge will want to win the trade. No way you're getting Smart for Rich straight up. I think Ainge would ask for Rich and Brunson.
