Yep, his trade was far and away his greatest benefit to KC.
Too bad he was never a "placeholder" as you say. If he were, that extension would have never happened. Nope, Reid wanted to "fix" Smith and roll with him all the way to the top. He even said as much in his first set of questions ever asked about Smith.
And many were okay with that sad plan and idea.
