Would you make this Marcus Smart-Jrue Holiday trade? Type ‘A’ for Accept, ‘D’ for Decline
ABSOLUTELY!! IF Jrue has to go. Dont forget about all the games he HELPED us win! his defense, taking charges (occasional flop😊)his hustle. So he cant shoot the 3. Let him work on it!
I’ve seen him make 5-6 in a game! He can get in the paint and score and make free throws. I would take him back.
Smart made Dumb shots!
get draft asset
Brad Stevens need pursue Cam Johnson or Isaiah Stewart & add more 3&D guy
Bring him back 💚
Do not bring smart back I’ll rather bring IT back
Not unless Smart is the 3rd PG option and it’s for emergencies only. He’s a tough, physical guy that has some upside potential but makes big mistakes when the games on the line.
😢what happened to my team getting worse every day.
👍👌
36 we need u bud
Why trade for Smart when he's only got 1 year left in his contract. If changes are really going to happen this year and the Cs would be able to get under the tax, then the Cs could sign Smart in free agency. But, if the Cs are really entertaining the thought of shipping away Holiday and getting back Smart the a three team trade could be the way to go. Rockets gets Holiday, Wizards get Dillon Brooks and the Cs get Smart and Jabari Smith Jr. or Cam Whitmore. Or the Cs could just buyout Holiday's contract and have him retire as a Celtic and have him on the coaching staff along with Al Horford to help the younger players develop even further.
Smart blows. He was a cancer when with the Celtics. Trading for him would be a HARD NO, especially knowing that you are attaching a first round pick.
Smart used to drive me crazy he makes a lot of dumb plays especially in crunch time
I'm a fan of Marcus smart please bring back if jrue gone in celtics
DDDDDDDD!
He is the next Jrue. It was Rondo before that, and before that it was Avery Bradley, and before that Robert Horry.
I’m a Celtic fan for 57 years and I have seen a lot of players going back to Bill Russell. Smart had some good games, but, he didn’t play good defense at the end of his stay in Boston. We would not have won #18 with him on the team. He foolishly thought he was as important, offensively, as the J’s, and that cost us many of games. Yes, he helped us win some games, but, he cost us a lot with his turnovers and taking and missing, 3’s. We don’t need him. We appreciate what he did early in his stay in Boston, which was focusing on defense. He changed from a defensive mindset, to, like I mentioned above, foolishly thinking he was an offensive threat.
Much as well retain Holiday rather than getting Marcus back 🥱
NOPE! He's a ballhog HEROBALL MENTALITY
Forget it. Please let’s stop this lousy idea. Marcus Smart is not the savior. His horrible shooting is too painful to watch.
Celtics wishing they didn't get rid of Aaron Nesmith 😂
I will always love Smart days with C's. But now, No. It's more about the leadership, not the talent
Just develop the young player like before of Tatum and brown.no need to trade ,let go the other
Seriously? Smh
Big no thanks to Smart.
Trade Holiday, start Pritchard, move JD Davison into Pritchards role. Simple. I like Smart but his style of play usually means a big drop off in his 30's either in play or in health. What the Celtics need to do is trade Holiday and Brown and Hauser and try to get a really good 4 to replace Horford. Tatum, Scheierman and Walsh can play the three.
Hell no. Marcus smart was never as good as the green teamers made him out to be. Don’t even consider bringing him back
D No thanks he really dropped off in production, we don't need more people jacking 3s. He take shots over JT and JB thinking he was at the same level. And definitely not adding a 1st. Jrue is equal to those 2 even.
Don’t need him standing around three point line chucking up bricks.
Marcus Smart is the type of player Joe would love
Sorry but Smart is a low IQ player. No.
