Oh man, I trust Brad but this is a huge gamble. Smart is the heart & soul of the team and this will be a major shock to the locker room... The fans are going to absolutely hate the trade and will have very very little patience with Porzongis.

This trade is bananas. Why would Brad tear apart one of the strongest contending teams? KP is unproven in the playoffs while Smart is battle tested.

As a Lakers fan, I hope the Celtics blow it up.

I'm not a Celtics fan but I actually like this gamble on Porzingis for them. He had a great season and while the Celtics have been close I feel like after the loss to my Heat they did need to shake things up. I guess this means they're keeping Brown? Also Smart to the Grizz means no more Dillon Brooks?

If I have all the details correct:

Grizzlies get Marcus Smart

Wizards get Tyus Jones, Gallinari, Muscala, Boston's 35th pick

Boston gets Porzingis, Grizzlies 2023 1st round pick, and 2024 1st round pick (via Golden State)

Feel like Smart was starting to fade a little, but he fits the Grizz really well (both in terms of culture and covering for the first part of the season with Ja out).

I like what the Celtics have done here... All comes down to whether Porzingis stays healthy

I don't understand this trade at all...maybe it'll make more sense in the next day or two, but it feels like Celtics traded away Smart for very little despite it being a good draft year.

If the Muscala and Gallinari to DC rumor is true, did we really just trade KP and Beal for the 2019-20 Thunder?

Love this for the Grizz ❤️ We get a DPOY and leader who replaces Brooks in the starting lineup, and we ship out two late firsts we have zero need for and a small guard who never fit well next to Ja for someone who will be playing big time minutes. We basically filled two or three needs by bringing in one player. PLUS Smart is locked in to a very reasonable contract.
