Could the Boston Celtics trade Marcus Smart into Golden State’s $17 million trade exception?

We’ve reached the critical mass portion of the NBA’s off-season: the Boston Celtics trading away Marcus Smart to the perennially contending Golden State Warriors.

The rumor came from Anthony Slater of the Athletic, and the publication’s editor-in-chief Tim Kawakami pushed the idea in a tweet yesterday:

Marcus Smart is a very interesting name on this @anthonyVslater list:https://t.co/Nn73WSLYEL

Marcus Smart to the Warriors? It can’t be!

The C’s have had Smart under contract since the 2014-15 season and he has become one of Danny Ainge‘s best draft picks in his entire tenure as general manager.
