The Lakers offered him more money than the Rockets did.
These people makes zero sense. The Lakers offer was disrespectful so he goes and takes less money? He basically disrespected himself 😂
No way in hell should Rob have let Smart, Kennard & Hayes walk. Gross overpay to AR, Kessler, Mamu & Grimes
Limited us greatly.
Seems like the advanced metrics to look at involve Luka, AR15, and Smart as a trio without LBJ on the floor.
I got my wisdoms tooth extracted today
Why should Milwaukee get punished as harshly? Its not like they are repeat offenders.
so he left to take the same length deal for less money….seems like the only Smart part about him is his name.
This is the result of everybody hyping up that first round series. The lakers won that series playing horrible basketball. They would not have won without Smart but he also showed you why he is not a PG. That’s why Boston wanted the ball out of his hands.
This is also why Jaxson Hayes left. The Lakers management has been a mess for a long time, even the podcasters are admitting that. Disrespect is an understatement for all players that left.
Love Marcus but Lakers offered him his market value. Proof is what he ended up getting. He’s got an injury history and he’s older. Last year was his best year in a few years. Will he be able to repeat that? We will see.
We took him off the trash heap last year and helped resurrect his career. I wouldn't go so far as to say he was trash the year or two before we got him but he clearly fell off. I don't understand why he's got to flame us like that. Just leave and be thankful we helped him parlay his career elsewhere. As far a Udoka being a sevens genius, he surely didn't do much with Dorian Finney Smith last year, who is a good comp to Marcus.
Why would the Bucks get a worst punishment than the Clippers. That just tells me Adam Silver wants to make sure the Bucks have 0 way to rebuild so that they are forced to relocate.
Yes the Lakers should have kept Smart even if zhis means that you renounce to Sexton
The team has enough offensive power but needs another defensive minded player next to Kessler
He’s a 30+ year old 34% 3 point shooter who’s averaged 38 games a season over the last 5 seasons, he can be disrespected all he wants and be somewhere else
I’d pay Gary Trent Jr before I’d pay Grimes.
Marcus was great for us, but if he ended up signing for less, it means his market value was lower than what the Lakers offered. So what's disrespectful about that?
dude had a player option if he wanted to stay – so shut up
So the guy who shot 39% from the field and 33% from 3, even though he was left wide open says he played so well, and so much better than the other guys, he was disrespected. Just Embarrassing
18:11 this is corporate control not regulating circumvention..paying an employee later isn’t the same as paying them off the books 🤦🏾♂️ his previous season play it’s a justifiable excuse if ik they’re going to get me on the back end after all this GA stuff over wit and we tanking for a pick im not going out there and playing hard as i can and get hurt and not be able to get my money
Pretty sure he got the Sexton contract offer. Probably team option second year. He wanted Grimes money or more years. Lakers said no.
Please Fire Rob Pelinka for Not Signing Marcus Smart and Jackson Hayes 🏀 ⛹
I knew you were going to hop on this as soon as i saw quotes on X. They signed young athletic FA. Smart is 33 and was on a Min last season. No one wanted him NO ONE. Now show me why LAL should offer him 9m when most he was able to get is 6m. So what LAL need to pay more for some reason. In such cases i would say to players go on the market and whatever you get there we will match it or give you slightly more. That is fair and i do think LAL WOULD give him 2 for 14
