Marcus Smart might still be wearing green after Thursday’s deadline passes. Per the Boston Herald’s Mark Murphy, the All-Defense guard is not being included in a potential deal with the Orlando Magic that would send Aaron Gordon to Boston.
“Celtics talks with Orlando re: Aaron Gordon ‘still alive, but everyone does everything at last minute,’” Murphy wrote on Twitter. “Celtics offering first round pick and a young player - not Marcus Smart - and are trying not to include second pick in the deal.”
Murphy’s report comes amidst a plethora of rumors surrounding a Gordon-to-Boston move.
