Marcus Smart says the Boston Celtics were not truthful with him about his future after he was blindsided by a trade to the Memphis Grizzlies.
The 2022 NBA Defensive Player of the year was shipped out of Massachusetts in a three-team trade last month that saw the Celtics acquire Kristaps Porzingis from the Washington Wizards.
Smart, 29, says he was left shocked when he learned he was no longer a member of the Celtics, insisting he had received assurances from general manager Brad Stevens and head coach Joe Mazzulla that he was not on the trade block.
