Look, if Chicago really wants him, they have picks 39 and 41. Getting one of those would be huge in how this draft board is going to set up.

Which might cost us our 4th or maybe a 3rd or 4th next season.
We may not be able to get 41 straight across for Smith -- but it gets us in the door. We could easily get something figured out there prior to FA.
Again -- I've never said Smith isn't a very good player. I only think we're overcommitting resources to the IOL and I think he's the wrong TYPE of really very good player.
He has value in the league. A pretty fair amount of it, IMO.
I still hope we can get a trade worked out though I do think I'm using some galaxy brain, 5d chess shit to get there. It seems really likely that this is just a prelude to a LTC.
