LAS VEGAS — Free agent guard Marcus Smart met with two NBA teams here on Monday and is scheduled to meet with two more on Tuesday, according to a league source. The group includes teams from both conferences, the source said.
There have been conflicting reports about how much Smart and his camp are hoping for on the open market, but a source familiar with the negotiations said the guard is open to signing a multiyear deal for less than $15 million per season.
Smart is one of the top remaining prizes on the market. He is a restricted free agent, meaning that the Celtics will have the ability to match any offer sheet he signs with another team, and the Celtics have long insisted that their plan is to do just that.
