The Boston Celtics saw Marcus Smart starting to decline before trading him to the Grizzlies in 2023. The fan favorite was not happy about the move, but the franchise has been proven right. Smart has played just 54 total games in the last two seasons, and his production declined sharply. He has a new opportunity with the rival Lakers, but this won’t end well.
Smart averaged 9.0 points, 3.2 assists, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in 20.0 minutes per game last season, split between Memphis and Washington. The Grizzlies dumped him before the deadline to save money.
