Why a few ESPN analysts dislike Celtics’ trades of Grant Williams, Marcus Smart this offseason

The Celtics have gone through a decent roster overhaul after they fell short in the Eastern Conference finals. While some might view the moves they made as a necessity, a few notable ESPN analysts are a bit unsure if they improved their hopes for a title.

Former Celtics center Kendrick Perkins was among those who criticized the team the most after it traded Marcus Smart in order to get Kristaps Porzingis (along with two first-round picks). He felt similarly about the Celtics’ decision to reportedly let Grant Williams go to the Dallas Mavericks in a sign-and-trade earlier this week.
