Until earlier this week, veteran point guard Marcus Smart was the most tenured member of the Boston Celtics, playing nine seasons with the club after being drafted No. 6 overall in 2014. A surprise three-team trade between the Celtics, Memphis Grizzlies, and Washington Wizards has changed all of that, and now Smart is slated to suit up with Memphis next year.
Boston went gone through several iterations since the team began a full rebuild in the early 2010s, and Smart was there through it all. He helped Boston sneak into the playoffs in 2015 before becoming a key running mate to fan-favorite Isaiah Thomas. Smart was there to support Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward. And more recently, Smart served as the defacto third amigo alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
