The Hypothetical Trade
Warriors Receive: Marcus Smart, No. 14 Overall Pick
Celtics Receive: No. 2 Overall Pick
At first look, some might wonder why the Celtics would even consider this deal. Marcus Smart is a huge part of what they do on both sides of the ball. However, there are quite a few reasons that Boston should consider this move if it came around.
The Warriors, on the other hand, don’t necessarily need another guard, but Smart would bring elite perimeter defense. He has also been able to improve his offensive game and can shoot the three as well.
Let’s take a closer look at the deal for each team involved and see why both the Celtics and Warriors should pull the trigger on this trade.
