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.

After so many years, there's this little voice that wants to dispute this... but I don't trust that voice anymore. Your 4 year conclusion is fair, and likely on point.
That said, I don't think it's horrible that KC will start him for one more... and it IS time to be developing a day 1 or 2 rookie.
