It’s the huge breaking news that accompanied our croissants a dozen hours ago. Marcus Smart was sent to Memphis, Marcus Smart and his nine seasons in Boston, Marcus Smart and his green blood, Marcus Smart and his green hair. And that, Marcus Smart apparently has a lot of trouble accepting.
This morning, June 22, a few hours before the Draft and a few days before the start of the Free Agency, Kristaps Porzingis took the direction of Boston, to bring the Celtics the offensive strike force they lacked inside. In this exchange it is the supersub Tyus Jones who joined the Wizards, RIP, and the third man of this trade is therefore… Marcus Smart, official lung / balls of the franchise for almost ten years. Almost 700 games in nine seasons, four conference finals and an NBA final, and beyond the stats or the prize list, this status of Mr. Boston for the Best defender of the season in 2022.
Despite everything Marcus was therefore sacrificed, business is business, and according to Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe (full article right here), the person concerned is still groggy following this announcement…
New: Sources said Marcus Smart was completely shocked by last night’s trade and is still trying to process it today.
“Marcus loves Boston. He thought he was going to retire there. He wanted to retire there.”

Sources say Marcus Smart was shocked by the trade and is still trying to figure it out. “Marcus loves Boston. He thought he would end his career there, he wanted to end his career there.
A logical feeling for a player who has known nothing other than the Celtics and who has been identified for a while as the symbol of green identity. A quote that reminds how ruthless the NBA can sometimes be with good stories, even if we still suspect that the boy’s profile already promises great battles on the Memphis side, alongside the DPOY 2023 for that matter. , as his new teammate Desmond Bane rightly pointed out…
DPOY X2 ????????
