Woj/Shams Bomb: Porzingis traded to Celtics Part Deux! Grizzlies involved, Marcus Smart to Grizz - Tyus Jones to Wiz

Celtics will regret this if the Smart thing is true. Not only traded their leader but the only person on the team who has any interest whatsoever in cosplaying as a point guard.

Cannot believe they'd be this short sighted.

Wait what the **** is this bull. So Boston got KP and 3 picks?

I agree, you have to keep smart.

Wtf? You traded your heart and soul of the team for KP?!

No **** way Boston trades Smart for Porz and 2 1sts. Just unreal.

They traded the leader who consistently came up short in the clutch...time for Tatum and Brown to take over...

Boston gets Porzingas and 2 firsts..... yea, giving up Smart is fine. Brogdon plays a good enough PG.

Yeah this is an epic fail of a trade. Lost the soul of your team in Smart, keep the guard that was too injured to trade, for an equally injury prone Center, who is also known to be a team cancer. Celtics, it was nice knowing you.

Smart was the defensive pillar on that team, and their biggest leader.

So is Memphis going to run a Ja-Smart-Bane lineup? That seems off. I wonder if JA is now in play as a trade piece...

Smart did not seem like the issue when I was watching them. Maybe BOS fans can provide more detailed reasons why he was

Gobert trade? Paul George one with okc? Harden to Houston from okc?

How the heck does Marcus Smarts 18mil get close to KP’s 36 mil salary?

Well, I'm assuming Derrick White's the full-time starter now, with Brogdon off the bench.

I'd rather have traded Brogdon, but we did get 2 first rounders.

Only one who kept them even remotely organized. Toughest player mentally regardless of clutch stats and vocal and lockerroom leader. The rest of the Celtics are a bunch of boys, no offense, who I wouldn't trust to give me directions around the corner if it was raining.

**** trade imo and not worth it at all.

Two first AND Porzingis??? Yeah you do that deal but what is Memphis doing

The_Ghost_of_JB · Post #59 » by **The_Ghost_of_JB** » Thu Jun 22, 2023 4:09 am

I'm legitimately shocked they traded smart but as far as I'm concerned good riddance. His defense is regressing and I've seen enough of his 3-15 shooting threes every game.

Worse than all of those. Yes. Smart is a warrior. They will never win without him
