Isn't Smith a FA after this year? The Lakers would be in the same situation they're in now. I do like the move in theory though, it would allow for Pau to move back to the post where I think he's better
Smith is a FA. But the Lakers are in the luxury tax. So trading away Howard for Smith saves them money for this year, since they aren't making the playoffs. Then they have to ask themselves, what is the chances of signing Howard long-term?
Moves Gasol back to the post, as you said. And it brings in a Defensive presence in Smith who can also do many things to help a team out.

I think Dwight will actually resign with them after this year. Walking away from LA leaves $30mm on the table, that's awfully hard to walk away from.
Ultimately, the Lakers need to move Pau or Dwight, they can't co-exist IMO. Obviously moving Dwight would net a higher return, so I'd lean towards moving him. I think the scenario you pointed out would work out really well for LA (Smith to LA) if they can somehow get assurance that Smith would resign with them
