Champion Boston Celtics forward (and broadcaster) Cedric Maxwell knows firsthand how it feels to be dealt away from the Celtics in the midst of a wide-open contention window, so his perspective is especially valuable for understanding the human dynamics of such a deal.
On a recent episode of his CLNS Media “Cedric Maxwell” podcast, Max and co-host Josue Pavon dived into the game-changing trade that sent Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies, making room for Kristaps Porzingis to be dealt to Boston from the Washington Wizards in a three-team deal.
“Marcus took it really tough,” he said.”He thought he was going to be the last one on the ship.”
Cornbread provided his immediate reaction to this high-stakes deal, the significance of Smart’s departure and the fresh dynamics Porzingis is poised to inject into Boston’s lineup.
