Depending on how his contract situation is looking I'd keep them both but especially Murray. He won't be your franchise player but he can be a solid component on a good team. Spurs problem is they haven't gotten a franchise player since Kawhi and I doubt trading either one of them, or even both, gets you one back in return.

what would we give up tho... a Smart trade wouldn't really help the team it'd be a lateral move

Same. I also think you can throw Smart at more people in the league and find success due to his size. While Murray is more efficient, Smart makes a little bit less than him and his contract is shorter.

Celtics need to see how they do in the playoffs w/ their squad fully healthy before trading away pieces imo. Smart actually played better in these playoffs than he did all season.

It would help in that Murray is more of a point guard with defense than Smart is. So it's like a lateral move that would benefit the Celtics :yeshrug:

Available only if you are trading a superstar player or a shyt ton of draft picks...

Available like if the bucks were going to trade giannis, then yeah the spurs would put dejounte and derrick in those trades...

If the 76ers call and say they want Dejounte and Derrick for Ben Simmons though...spurs are laughing and hanging up the phone...

Dejounte and Derrick will both be candidates for most improved...especially Dejounte now that the deck is finally cleared for him offensively with LMA and Derozan being gone...With enough shots he is going ot be a 20 6 and 5 guy next year...

Two of the main reasons why LMA and Derozan are gone is because the spurs needed to clear the deck for Dejounte and Derrick and now they going to turn around and trade one of them ? For what exactly ? Except for a legit superstar player the spurs have the cap room to sign anybody out right. Hell even if they wanted Simmons they have the cap room to just do a sign and trade for Demar to make the money match outright...
