As a C"s fan, I don't like it. Appreciate you Marcus. Good luck kid.
I don't understand this trade for the Grizzlies. Why trade Jones instead of making him the starting PG in Ja's absence? That makes no sense. As for the Celtics, I had a feeling that they would trade Smart one day (in fact, I suggested it), but I figured it would be a for a more pass-first PG than a big man. I think Smart has been a little overrated by Celtics fans, but trading him away will be a big loss for them. Nevertheless, they still got Porzingis.
as a mavs fan, i really wanted marcus smart. didn't know he was even available
This is one of the worst deals I’ve ever seen done. Celtics finesse again lmao
Celtics won on this one
I hate seeing teams forced to let go of homegrown talent because of salary cap. Teams should be incentivize to pay and keep their developed draft picks.
Marcus Smart fits into dillon brooks role perfectly, except smart is much better in every way than brooks. Celtics are so dumb for this trade, they done with Robert williams and al horford? They need a traditional point guard that can run an offense. Maybe they can sign chris paul if he gets cut by the wizards for a vet minimum but porzingis isn't at all the kind of player they need.
So done with the Wizards
Celtics window just closed a little bit more. 😂
Had to know if anybody was gonna get the boot it was gonna be Marcus Smart even though he shows the most spirit real sad because the Celtics have really been in a good space even tho they lost they lost after nearly making history.
SVP tell that dude to shave it off… 🤦♂️
I actually think trading Smart is better than trading Brogdon. First off Smart is not an efficient offensive player. Second, Derrick White has proven he is as good if not better. Third, Smart was a big part of the culture, but by being that guy it didn't give space to Tatum/Brown to really be that leader, now they have to become that leader cause there is virtually no one else that can serve that role. Overall, I think its a good trade that makes the celtics more interesting
Connecticut!!!
Boston Will Not Win Without Smart More Consistent Than Tatum And Brown🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
This the dumbest thing thing boston couldve done. U gave up ur heart nd soul for KP who can't stay on the floor🤣
memphis dropped bricks but now they get the league leader in flopping 💀
It be your own people 💔
Not hard at all. Its business. Derek White is better than Smart and KP will be a all-star in the future. Plus Smarts turnovers and bricks in the clutch is not acceptable.
Trading smart really hurt.He is soul of the team
what would you expect .the Celtics management has been nothing short of awful to those who are loyal to them and would literally die playing for them (ehem , traded away Pierce, IT. and the list goes on and now Smart)
memphis gave up too much. tyus and a 1st is enough. 2 picks is crazy. tyus is so underrated.
The Celtics are better than they were 24 hours ago.
Traded the leader of the team for an injury prone foward
Brad is a cold em effer for this, but necessary. Great deal.
Is Smart going to dye his hair blue now? Lol
They traded their best defender
