Should the Boston Celtics explore trading Marcus Smart instead of Jaylen Brown?

There has been plenty of chatter surrounding whether the Boston Celtics ought to trade away All-NBA forward Jaylen Brown given his eligibility for a supermax contract heading into the 2023-24 NBA season in light of the punitive power of the league’s new collective bargaining agreement.

But another school of thought involves trading veteran point guard Marcus Smart to a similar end, with the hope of bringing back a more traditional point guard, or perhaps to save money. In a recent episode of the CLNS Media “Bob Ryan and Jeff Goodman with Gary Tanguay” podcast, the eponymous hosts discuss whether the Celtics should consider trading Marcus Smart.
