    Why, is he a tall white guy with limited athleticism?

    I think we need a thread to consolidate trade rumors. I have no idea who this guy is but according to his twitter he has called stuff before.

    Thank goodness that Smart's contract doesn't come close to matching CJ's... we don't need more short guards... that's not what this team needs. Good grief.

    Not a huge Marcus Smart fan but how is his size an issue? 222 lb guard with a 6'9" inch wingspan who is an excellent defender.

    Did you see what happened to Norm when he tried to defend a real forward during the Denver series... he got slaughtered. If we needed another good guard, this would be great but Marcus Smart never has to defend guys bigger than him because the Celtics haven't ever bought into the nonsense that is "positionless basketball". That shit is all well and good on offense but you just can't roll out a bunch of short dudes on D. Marcus Smart and Norman Powell will get eaten up by 90% of starting small forwards in this league. They are both guards and they aren't even big guards.

    How comparable are Smart & Powell? Powell I believe is a better shooter. I know Smart played a lot of PG too and does hand out assist.

    if one of the pieces was Robert Williams, that might be interesting. If another component was reducing Portland's cap by 10-12M, that would also be attractive

    but probably not enough to mask the disappointment of spending all this time talking about Simmons and Siakam to only end up with Smart

    What "pieces" do the Celtics have that would make up the SEVENTEEN MILLION difference in salaries?

    I like Smart a lot... but I would be disappointed if we lost CJ for just him.

    What other pieces, Nesmith? Langford? Picks? (Any picks will be shit with CJ, Brown, and Tatum on their team) I don't like it.

    Steven's probably trying to get us to take Horford. Fuck that.

    Jaylen Brown or he can fuck off

    sure....but I think the chances either ends up a Blazer are fairly small. While the chances that Dame demands a trade if Portland just runs it back and fails again are high. He might not even wait for them to fail

    problem is Smart, CJ. and Powell are all SG's. I don't think having two is a good idea, anymore than playing Powell at out of position at SF was a good idea
