Will Marcus Smart return to the Celtics?
“I think he does come back with the Celtics,” retired forward Paul Pierce said on ESPN’s “The Jump” Tuesday.
Smart, a restricted free agent, is eligible to sign with another team, but — despite reportedly meeting with other clubs — he has yet to field any official offers. There was a report Sunday night regarding the Sacramento Kings’ plans to pursue Smart, although an offer sheet has not yet materialized.
If Smart does end up signing an offer sheet with a different team, Boston will have the opportunity to match.
