Just a few weeks into the offseason, and it’s already been a summer of change for the Boston Celtics. They traded long-time fan favorite Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies in a three-team deal for Kristaps Porzingis, completely altering the team's foundation.
The move sent shockwaves throughout Celtics Nation, as fans immediately cried out for the heart and soul of the team to return, criticizing the move through green-colored goggles.
Porzingis’ addition to the lineup will undoubtedly help Boston push forward, as the former All-Star put up career numbers last season, and while Smart’s departure will continue to sting, Derrick White and Malcolm Brogdon are waiting in the wings to step up.
