Marcus Smart could be hitting the open market this summer.
The former Celtics standout is now on his third team with the Wizards — but could be the odd man out moving forward on a Washington roster that has 17 players under contract for next season.
With the NBA roster limit set at 15, the Wizards need to move a few players off their team before the start of next season, with a veteran guard on an expiring deal like Smart making plenty of sense, especially given both his $21.6 million salary and the Wizards’ focus on developing younger players.
