The Washington Wizards could be looking to move Marcus Smart over the next few months of the NBA offseason.
Smart could fit well on almost any team in the league with his versatility on defense and underrated playmaking ability in the backcourt.
Assuming multiple teams around the league begin to inquire about the guard's availability, the Wizards could engage in trade talks for Smart sooner rather than later.
Odds for the former Defensive Player of the Year's next team dropped, but these 3 squads make the most sense.
LA Clippers
A fit of Marcus Smart on the LA Clippers would make the most sense of not only any team on this list, but arguably the entire league.
Tyronn Lue has despertaly been seeking a 3-and-D guard that could fit alongside the team's current roster construction and slot in alongside James Harden in the backcourt,
Kris Dunn played solid in his role, but he didn't offer the consistency that the Clippers hoped he could in an expanded role that could keep him on the floor with his offensive limitations.
LA tried to see if Ben Simmons had anything left in the tank to fit the role they were searching for, but quickly realized the LSU product's best days were behind them.
If the Clippers could find a way to land Smart, they could finally have a veteran defender in their backcourt that they could rely on defensively, but also not have to worry about as a liability on the offensive side of the court as well.
Considering the Clippers rumored interest in Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday, Smart's cheaper contract could make LA a legitimate threat to watch when the Wizards move the veteran.
Detroit Pistons
The Detroit Pistons aren't listed on the above list for Smart's most likely next team, but it's hard to ignore the clear fit that the guard could have in the Motor City.
Smart's play is the exact prototype of guard that could flourish in J.B. Bickerstaff's system alongside the Pistons' current young guards Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey.
With Detroit proving that they're knocking on the door of being a true threat in the East soon, a move to land Smart could get them one step closer to doing exactly that.
Miami Heat
Celtics fans look away..
Marcus Smart on the Miami Heat would be a nightmare turned into reality for Celtics' fans, but the fit is undeniable.
The former Oklahoma State standout is the epitome of hard work and facing the grind head on and in South Beach, that's exactly what Heat Culture is about.
If Miami somehow were to land Kevin Durant, they could turn their attention towards assembling a soldi supporting cast around the star and a fit of Smart in the backcourt would make perfect sense for a number of reasons, but most importantly his reliability as a two-way threat and veteran presence.
