Cedric Maxwell: It was really tough on Marcus Smart when the Boston Celtics traded him
Champion Boston Celtics forward (and broadcaster) Cedric Maxwell knows firsthand how it feels to be dealt away from the Celtics in the midst of a wide-open contention window, so his perspective is especially valuable for understanding the human dynamics of such a deal.
On a recent episode of his CLNS Media “Cedric Maxwell” podcast, Max and co-host Josue Pavon dived into the game-changing trade that sent Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies, making room for Kristaps Porzingis to be dealt to Boston from the Washington Wizards in a three-team deal.
“Marcus took it really tough,” he said.”He thought he was going to be the last one on the ship.”
Cornbread provided his immediate reaction to this high-stakes deal, the significance of Smart’s departure and the fresh dynamics Porzingis is poised to inject into Boston’s lineup.
