btw, to answer some of my own questions, it seems it's possible that houston is moving on from fvv. depending on how that's accomplished, it could make space to get smart and keep eason.
I would imagine that there are scenarios in which we’d definitely be down to retain Smart at that contract value, we just have too many other more significant plans being worked on. Need the cap flexibility and can’t commit yet, so maybe this all is even just smoke from Smart’s camp to put pressure on the Lakers.
