After all the reports of feeling unwanted, un appreciated, disrespected Marcus Smart has resigned with the Boston Celtics. Marcus Smart went into Free Agency expecting a major payday and was hit with a sad case of reality when no team in the league was willing to give him the nearly 15 million dollar a year salary he was aiming for. Marcus Smart and the Celtics agreed to a 4 year $52 million deal with the breakdown reportedly being 11.6 Million for the 2018/19 season. Then 12.5 Million for the 2019/20 season, 13.4 Million for the 2020/21 season and then 14.3 million for the 2021/22 season. This signing means the Celtics have resigned both of their main free agents from last years team and are pretty much set for this upcoming season a season that many have them as the favorites to represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals. However the Toronto Raptors added Kawhi Leonard in exchange for Demar Derozan. Reports say Ainge offered the San Antonio Spurs big offer loaded with the Celtics best draft picks from other teams including the Kings pick for the Spurs superstar despite Leonard being an expiring contract and rumors swirling that he would not resign. Was Ainge smart to offer up that type of deal and is it justifiable for people to have the Raptors as the favorites in the East instead of the Celtics. Also this past Thursday it was reported that Kyrie Irving has been cleared for Basketball Activites which is the first step in his recovery from knee surgery. The Celtics also traded away Abdel Nader to the Thunder in a move to try anc clear some money off their books to try and get under the luxury tax line how far are they now from getting under the line after the move.
