There has been some disappointment and frustration among fans over the trade that sent Marcus Smart from the Boston Celtics for Kristaps Porzingis given Smart’s role as the heart and soul of the Celtics.
Despite the fact the trade brought good value in terms of the assets received, some still find it difficult to accept. That’s due in part to the unexpected nature of the trade. The fact another deal involving Malcolm Brogdon fell through added to the disappointment.
To talk over the fallout of the trade as well as what it can bring to Boston’s capabilities, the hosts of the “How About Those Celtics?” podcast talked over the momentous news.
They express their admiration for Smart as both a player and a person, praising his skills on the court and his contributions to the community, and spend a fair amount of time floating potential trade destinations for Malcolm Brogdon as well.
To hear what they had to say about one of the biggest moves made by the ball club in many years, take a look at the clip embedded above.
