It has been a few days since Marcus Smart was traded for Kristaps Porzingis and the dust is still settling on that deal. There’s just a lot to process beyond the emotional “love and trust is gone” aspect.
The Boston Celtics will not be “running it back” with the same core group. Brad Stevens decided that we needed a different look and was once again decisive in making a bold move and I have a few leftover thoughts to get down on “paper” before we move on to free agency.
As many analysts have pointed out, the Celtics got the guy most believe to be the best player in the trade and still got two first rounders out of it.
