There were times he fell out of the rotation when LaMelo was healthy, so not totally unsurprising. He sounds hungry to play more which bodes well for us.
Interesting. At this point in Smith’s career, you’d think he just take the bigger contract, no questions asked. But him coming here for a vet min really shows he genuinely just wanted to be here.
That, and he’s like best friends with DFS lol
We’ve seen it before. The Nets get players.
