does the Asik trade pretty much ensure that Smiht is gone?

I'd say it's up in the air and depends on what we have to give up to create room for Asik and if we have to do a trade or S&T for a SF. I can see situations in which you lose both Ajinca and Withey in the process in which case bringing back Smith as your 4th big is a no brainer. Honestly I think Asik is a bigger threat to Ajinca than Smith in terms of duplicating what you bring to the team.
