    They better keep Pritchard now. If Porzingus and Brogan can stay familiar healthy, the Celtics have improved their roster. I will miss Smart though. I am going to be watching the Grizzlies a lot more this season.

  8. AMBROSIO MORALES

    Gotta do what you have to do marcus smart is well loved in boston no matter what he is a bostonian he still young memphis can be his second home like boston

    Man I hate to see Marcus go but we had to do something to get over the hump. We need some guys with an edge on the bench now, of course for the minimum. Tatum and Brown are really going to have to step up their leadership!

  14. Big Stunt

    Great pick up for the Grizzlies, he fits there style of play. I hate that we gave up Smart..idk what the outcome is going to be in the PG position. Do we keep Pritchard now?

  16. J Fresh

    Damn bro would of rather seen Brogdan go!! Thank you Marcus for everything you contributed to on and off the court!!

  19. Your Local Ryan

    Marcus smart is the only jersey I’ve ever owned so far. I will watch him with the grizzlies like I will watch the Celtics but it hurts man.

  21. shyJr

    I wish we could have Marcus Smart get a championship with us 😢I would give the trade a B+

  23. Boston Pride

    Why trade Marcus smart? He’s the first PG since Gary Payton to win DPOY and was the heart and soul of Boston. I’m disappointed now, yeah KP is good but I don’t see him fitting with Boston at all.

  25. Le’harrio Structure

    To Lose our Dawg hurts like a 50 lashes across the back when you ain’t see it coming but I guess we’re counting on RoB, Khris~Po Double Big Defense to Work Magic if they remain Healthy and I’m looking forward to see a lot more of our young Dawg (JD) get his time to prove what he got to give on Defense too 🤔 if it all comes together we’ll be back on top though the tweeks had to be made as y’all pushed for it was either Brown/Malcolm/ Smart/ or RoB 🤷🏽‍♂️.. {❓SMART🚷}🤦🏽‍♂️

  28. Le’harrio Structure

    @ Smart is gonna still be in the Playoff mix for the Title Out West 🤷🏽‍♂️ going to Memphis actually a good fit for His Particular Skills though and closer to home for him and might even in up in Houston With UDOKA before the Trade Deadline 😉

  29. Christian Gonzalez

    Brad did that on purpose 😂 Smart use punk stevens all the time now he sent smart to get punked by A real gangster, things are going to get interesting in memphis!

  33. Guy Holliman

    Brogan know the business he will be fine Brogan Jalen Tatum Krisat Robert Williams that one hell of a starting line up

  36. Peter Janetatos

    Not tough. Smart needed to go. Are you kidding me?? You can’t be sitting in coaches chair during timeout!

  45. Demeco Dabney

    A high quality defensive player of the year that plays majority of his games and gives his heart soul and body for the team FOR an injury prone 5 Unicorn that hasn’t had any playoff experience and pouted when his team (Dallas) drafted him a top tier player for help (Luka). Not a fan of this trade. But I’m glad Marcus at least goes to my second favorite team. I just hate we couldn’t get him his championship. He out of everyone deserved it the most with all of the improvements he’s made over the years for the Celtics. You will be missed Marcus Smart.

    Marcus was the #8 pick in the 2010 class and now you are getting 7'3" porzingus and a first round pick – Looks like Stephens is smarter than ainge and also got him some experience coaching help for the young boy – Stephensen is on the ball

  49. BUGGN of Kixoholix413

    Really suxxx wicced smaht had to go remindz me of Tony Allen going to Memphis even tho he was much younger he wasn't the former defensive player of the year he was great off the bench and great on D and became a great player for Memphis as well…. gonna miss that green fro dammit…. but glad to get porzingawd and hope this draft is great to us…. also if Payton Pritchard stays hope he can grow and jd Davidson maybe as well
