Celtics have contacted teams about a deal for Marcus Smart, per @FredKatz http://ble.ac/2tnBb5m

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

And Smart even posted congratulation to Hayward for coming to Boston. That would be cruel...

The only way of giving Hayward the max is moving smart. The other option was moving rozier but that comes up $1 mill short.

Wrong, Crowder would be an option, too, a way, way, way better option than Smart. Smart better not be the option.

Big mistake, if it's true. Bradley needs to be the guy moved.

Who is going to run the 2nd unit?

Rozier. I'd like to keep Marcus too, but we have options if he has to go.

Crowder, AB and Smart are all being shopped. Crowder is the most likely one to be moved I have a feeling

Crowder makes the most sense...I get the no position NBA thing but having 4 natural SF on the roster all capable/borderline starters makes no sense.

Does this mean Danny plans to pay both IT and Bradley? The luxury tax will be huge and we 'll still have a long way to go before competing for a championship.

No. The only way is to move Smart or a higher salary. That includes AB and Crowder, along with IT and Horford (and maybe Tatum? I'd have to check)

i am sure Smart is not the only one being shopped, probably Croweder and Bradley too.
Whoever brings the best return will be traded.

Brown too. Of course, Brown and Tatum won't be moved.

AB and Smart are expiring contracts unlike Crowder who is on a super reasonable contract who should not be dumped just to save money. He should get us something in return if he goes.
The Nets will finish with the worst record and the Celtics will end up with the 4th pick.

I'd rather Bradley be traded. Not only is he the most likely to command the most next year, he's also the player that offers the least positional flexibility (he can really only play the 2).

Celtics must be convinced Smart has maxed out his potential and will be nothing more than a horrible shooting, terrible offense, defensive role player who can play out of control during big moments. If the Celtics are going to pay 2 of Bradley, IT and Smart, Smart is the one that won't get paid.
