RealGM Celtics Forum full of speculation that Smart will be traded, most likely for Bogey.
It's a terrible idea. By default, one of Clarkson or Conley would have to go as well, there would be too many guards and not enough forwards.I would absolutely love to have Marcus Smart, but if we trade Bogey for him then Danny Ainge is an idiot.

It would have to be two trades. Bogey is too important. Man, this is such a bad idea. Bogey doesn't even really fit what Boston needs that well.
I would make this deal in a heartbeat.
Problem is he didn't have 3 decent games in the row. This year he's hurting team alot more than ppl can see. He is fun to wach sometimes but man this is like cow who give you 20 litars of milk and than hit bucket milk is goneClarkson just seems to be in his own head this year. All mental.
If we had drafted Herb Jones, we might not be rushed to do anything right now. We could make a minor move on the fringes to add another perimeter defender, but that's about it. Huge miss passing on him.I'm going to pretend this metric is the truth, even though I'm not sure how it is calculated since it feeds in to my following opinions:
- Royce is good at defending wings, but not as good at defending guards
- Marcus Smart can guard wings despite his size
- FO missed out on Herb Jones
Who would Quin play him over?If we had drafted Herb Jones, we might not be rushed to do anything right now. We could make a minor move on the fringes to add another perimeter defender, but that's about it. Huge miss passing on him.
But back to our current situation, we have to get Smart. Perimeter defense is such an issue right now that we must address it with a guy like Smart. Hopefully, we can get the deal done with Clarkson.

If we had drafted herb Jones we'd be wondering why he isn't playing and lamenting his continual assignments to the G league.If we had drafted Herb Jones, we might not be rushed to do anything right now.

Yep. So we wasted a pick so Forrest could get all the backup PT.Jazz wanted a backup PG to give Conley rest
That's what they were targeting in the draft
They had no interest in any other position
That's possible, but I think his leadership qualities and skills would have led to him having a bigger role than that.If we had drafted herb Jones we'd be wondering why he isn't playing and lamenting his continual assignments to the G league.
Yeah but key was "after playing against him". They wouldn't have that chance here, and he would have been languishing in the G League most of the time, so we wouldn't know what we had until he was let go and went elsewhere.That's possible, but I think his leadership qualities and skills would have led to him having a bigger role than that.
If Donovan and Conley both publicly commented on how good Herb is after playing against him, I'm sure they would have pushed for him to play with them.
