Yea its like lets just do something to do something. I get they need to do something to press restart but Boston is desperate they could certainly use that to their advantage and gotten a draft pick back.

Could be a championship level Boston move or a 2014 Indiana Pacers move that destroys the team from within. Wizards are just shuffling the chairs on the titanic.


Tyus was great when Ja went down...started 22 games and averaged 16/8 on 50/42/78....Smart is a huge down grade...

With Ja being out the first 25 games they could go 0-25....Even when Ja comes back smart and ja playing together would put up some awful shooting nights.

Grizz are a lottery team next year.


This is one of the most ignorant posts I’ve seen on here…..and that’s saying something.
Not only is Smart worlds better than Tyus, but you really think the team that has finished second in the west two years in a row, with an ascending core is going to fall apart because the loss of Tyus Jones?

Because Ja is going to miss 25 games and even when he comes back Ja and Smart are a bad pairing. Alot of teams are getting better....Smart actually makes them worse imo... hes super overrated. Come back and tell me what you think of him after the first 25 games without Ja.

As a Celtics fan i will confirm this guy has no idea what hes talking about.
Smart will give you everything you wanted Dillon Brooks to give you but he can also create for himself and others on the offensive end. His size means he can guard any PGs/SGs and most small forwards.
A true leader and is absolutely the perfect fit for the grizzlies in my opinion. You are going to love this guy next to Ja.
One day Marcus Smart will be defensive player of the year, mark my words.

Marcus Smart is everything Grizzlies fans wanted Dillon Brooks to be.
But as you said, we'll just have to wait and see.

Grizzlies just need to win one game in order for your awful take to fall apart ...No team will ever go 0-25 ever is just so dumb.

Even if you hate the Grizzlies and Smart with a passion it doesn't excuse having one of thenworst takes is Realgm history .

KP health is a major concern. Losing smart I think will be a bigger impact than people think

You just packed so much into this comment that I had to bookmark it


You guys are in no position to talk trash. Failed to make the finals, when the game was there for the taking. Went down 0-3, nearly lost to the Sixers, except for Tatum having one otherworldly game. The Celtics made a move that could help, but overall, they are taking a lot of risk with injury. Not to mention, Tatum is still inconsistent in the playoffs, and Jaylen Brown is about to become the most overpaid star in the league, with the largest contract. That contract becomes untradeable the moment he puts pen to paper. He still can't go to his left, and was being outplayed by Caleb Martin. You got rid of someone who was the heart of the team, and still have Brown who is not a good fit.


My friend, you know that I consider you a good poster. So, don't take this the wrong way but I have to be honest. In this particular interaction, Celtics fans didn't talk any trash. You're the one talking trash. It happens, that's what fandom often looks like, I'm not holding it against you but I did have to be honest.

Not sure what to think of this trade. I feel like it could go so many ways.


Surprised Smart was moved. Maybe there was some personal/chemistry issues with Tatum and/or Brown?

Grizzlies offense may look a little rough with no Ja or Tyus.

Porzingis is just a complete question mark. He could be an amazing fit and push the Celtics over the top... or he could end up an injured, non-factor.
