It'll be almost impossible to retain everyone as the luxury tax payments get bigger. Kyrie gets paid in 1yr, Brown in 2 yrs, Tatum in 3yrs.
But Smart at 13m is a good deal and they could flip him in a package deal if need be. He's 1 of the best perimeter defenders in the league.
I could still see him becoming a passable 3pt shooter as well which would really help his value. Next year he'll be playing with a ton of playmakers on offense and his quality of looks should go way up. Atleast hit corner 3's. He's still only 24.

Kings didn't get anyone in the offseason. They project to be the worst team in the West. Their opening win total will be like 25. That was a good development for Celts since they own their pick.
Since they don't have their pick, it was thought they might try to just sign a few guys and win enough games so the pick they give away isn't too embarrassing for them. Similar to the Nets last year not being atrocious and only giving up 8th.
But they're gonna be pretty bad.
