He isn't. It's not a flop - it's simply giving a guy plenty of rope and watching him hang himself.
Smith has been a virtually identical player for his 4 years here and the talent put around him hasn't changed things. When his supporting cast is bad, that's a good team. When his supporting cast is good, he's the governor; the limiting factor that keeps the team from taking the next step.
He's served his purpose and it's time to replace him.
