   MacMahon on The Hoop Collective podcast suggested that Smart was “professionally heartbroken” after being traded from Boston to Memphis. That Smart didn’t want to be with the Grizzlies at all. Which may have attributed to the decline in Smart’s game the past two seasons.

   Smart said he has been cleared for basketball activities after dealing with a hand injury. He put it at “high 90s” regarding what percent he is when it comes to health.
