    I always thought Marcus would be a Celtics lifer. I’m not sure what to think. If this is the difference for winning a chip, then ok. But otherwise, they just traded away a locker room leader and fan favorite for an injury-prone big. The man has a Honeydew Donuts drink named after him.

    Wtf?! Smart was a defensive centerpiece for them and crucial for the locker room. I don’t get this trade at all.

    What is Washington going to do with Tyus? And I heard they’re taking Black too. They still have Monte. That’s a lot of PGs.

    In a vacuum…not a huge fan of this. Celtics need a big, true - but one who can stay on the floor, and Porzingis, while a good player overall, is far from being that
