Amid all of the tumult resulting from the Boston Celtics’ decision to trade Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies was a theory that perhaps star Celtics forward Jaylen Brown was a fan of the move given the lack of public reaction from the Georgia native. But in the first interview granted since that deal went down, Smart shot down the notion that there might be some sort of bad blood between the two.
“We’ve been through a lot together, we’ve been through the fire,” explained the Flower Mound native via CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning. “My mom passed away and J.B. was actually one of people on that plane that came to Dallas to the funeral. So I just want to shut all the rumors down now that me and J.B. had beef. I have no beef with anybody with the Celtics, none of my teammates.”
