We are still a long ways away from any kind of decision having to be made, but the Boston Celtics are going to be in an interesting position while negotiating with Marcus Smart, and this recent incident could have some kind of an impact.
This is the season when Smart had to prove how much money he is actually worth. Everyone has known how valuable he is as a defender, and that alone will make sure he has different options when it comes to contracts.
The unfortunate part for Smart, however, is that shooting is only becoming more important in the NBA, and this needed to be the season he proved that he was not a liability.
