He became a scrap at the age of 31! He had no ability to be a big brother, and he became a tough guy in the past two years and became a abandoned boy.

31 years old is the age of a professional player to reach his peak, but for Smart today, his future is hindered at this time. After trading Poole, the Wizards management further adjusted the team's lineup, and Smart has become the target of the trade. Although there is no clear trader at the moment, the Wizards no longer want to leave Smart in the team.

When Smart was selected by the Celtics, he was once trained as a key player. Even after the Celtics got Tatum and Brown, Smart also occupied an important position in the team's tactics. With the resurgence of the Celtics, Smart is also regarded as one of the best players in the league's backcourt, especially after winning the best defensive player, Smart has become another defender who won the best defensive player after Payton in 1996.

From the perspective of basketball talent and technical aspects, Smart will not become a super scorer, and Smart himself knows how to gain a foothold in the NBA. With his strong body, Smart has good ability to fight, and his active enough fighting attitude, Smart has become the toughest player on the defensive end on the court. It is said that the best defensive guard in the league is Beverly, but as the most stable defender in the Celtics' backcourt, Smart's desperate battles with offensive players are not inferior to Beverly.

It's a pity that Smart did not become the core of the Celtics, and the growth of Tatum and Brown also allowed the Celtics management to see a new direction and eventually traded Smart to leave the team. Smart, who came to the Grizzlies, did not adjust his mentality. He thought he would become the team's big brother in the Grizzlies, so he often regarded himself as a locker room leader and liked to control the ball on the court, and was unwilling to give up positions for young people. These behaviors deviate from the Grizzlies' future plans, so they naturally won't keep Smart to destroy the team's chemistry.

In order to send Smart away, the Grizzlies even took a first-round pick, which is enough to show the Grizzlies' eagerness to get rid of Smart. After coming to the Wizards, Smart still did his own thing and pointed at the young players. However, due to the inability to integrate into the Wizards' tactical system, Smart's data further declined. During his time with the Wizards last season, Smart averaged only 9.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, and played only 15 games, and did not contribute to the Wizards at all.

In terms of ability, Smart is definitely a necessity for a champion team, but his "interference" in the team's tactics on the court has brought him to his current situation. Smart always pointed at the behavior of young players during the game, and even often did this with Tatum and Brown when he played for the Celtics. When he was with the Grizzlies and Wizards, he even expressed his own opinions on the team's tactics. These behaviors did not make the team better at all. As a veteran who has been in the league for many years, Smart has no doubt that he has his own opinions on the team and young players, but if it affects the team's direction of progress, it is naturally not allowed. Now Smart has been put on the trading shelves by the Wizards. With his performance in recent seasons, I'm afraid few teams want to get him. From the former top defensive gate to the team's abandonment today, Smart's experience is sad.
