Ish Smith would like to re-sign with the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason.

The 76ers let Smith go last offseason and he was eventually re-acquired in a December trade.

"Eventually, I will have to pray about that and figure it out," Smith said. "But if it's a good situation, and stuff like that, you can't be like, man, I just want to start. You got to humble yourself. If you are meant to start and you are meant to be an all-star, it will happen."

The Sixers had lost 30 of their first 31 games before Smith returned. They went 6-9 in the first 15 games after his arrival.

Smith is expected to receive far more interest in free agency this offseason.

"Listen, I would be thrilled to have Ish back," Brett Brown said. "He's done everything and then some. As we all know, it's a volatile world that we live in. There are draft picks. There are trades. There's all the stuff that we know.

"But he's done everything that I have asked of him and then some. And I'm just personally fond of him."
