Yeah but this is literally Marcus smart we are talking about. Porzingis is a good player but not having smart on the team next season is gonna be a very hard adjustment to make. Just went from 60 3s a game with decent defense to 90 3s a game to close to no defense.
Marcus Smart was the Heart and Soul of the Celtics. He continued to improve in shooting every year. He set the defensive intensity for the whole team. He always stepped up when Tatum and Brown disappeared, especially in the playoffs. Smart should have played his entire career in green. Tatum and Brown are the reason why they can't get over the hump. Very sad to see Smart go. He was the best player to wear green since Garnett. Celtics just got very soft just like that.
Smart was inconsistent when it came to shooting and he’s not a true PG like white and brogdon plus Derrick white is better than smart anyway so this trade was the right decision gonna miss smart but this team just got better
@@lakerlll1939 so what? Since he went to DC he was their best player but "it was on a 12th seed" but Bradley Beal who was in the same team all of a sudden is a big game changer for Suns LoL
Why is ESPN insists so much with having Perkins as analyst? Hot nonsensical takes, can't even talk properly, racist, just an all round awful analyst. Unbelievable how he can be an even worse as analyst than he was as a player.
Not a fan of the Celtics, but hate this trade for them. Smart was critical to the success they've had the last few years. He will be missed!!!! Great acquisition for the Grizzlies. Definitely an upgrade after they dropped Dillon Brooks.
@@Sparks2520 what are you even talking about I didn’t say nothing about him deserving money I’m just saying draymond is more valuable on offense to the warriors compared to smart on the Celtics you is a straight up clown
@@OvertIntelligenceOverbearing for JT & JB..? If it wasn't for him calling everyone out in the middle of the season two years ago & calling for a players only meeting, then they wouldn't have flipped the switch & made the finals last year. He's the one with the tough mentality that kept those two upright. He uplifted everyone & Always showed 110% effort. They'll still be good, hopefully for my sake, but everyone is going to see & feel the clear change in energy.
I like this move for the Grizz. They showed they wanted to compete with any team this session, but they played real sloppy. Smart is going to embrace the leadership role and is going to teach these guys where to be and tighten the loose screw on this team.
@@BombTradyignorant, memphis were 20-5 without morant in 21-22, 22-23 the front court got injured and they still ended in the 2nd spot, expect grizzlies (if healthy) to destroy other teams offense, become more efficient on offense, and get every offensive/defensive rebound. We finish 1st in the west, and go to the wcf vs phoenix. Win in 6-7. Win the finals vs bucks.
I understand what Perk is saying as far as Smarts leadership. But one important part that he's overlooking is the emergence of Derrick White. He was the Celtics 3rd best player last year. Even over Smart. He was playing really solid both offensively and defensively. It sucks to see Smart go, but I like the trade.
@@ScottH.facts. as much as i love him and the hustle plays and heart and energy erratic is a perfect word. he would hero ball/choke in the clutch/ often disappear with a 4-13 shooting performance. that unit needs consistency. and i think white can be more consistent
WOW! Memphis got a lot better with this deal. They have the current Def POY in Jaren Jackson Jr.. They get Smart who was the Def POY a couple years ago. and if they get Adams back and healthy they are going to be stout on defense!! Given all the offensive fire power in the West, should be interesting...
Can you blame him??????????????????? Not like Tatum was doing all that much in the 4th! He was so spotty as it were! Marcus was a glue for that team, he got plenty of assists for Tatum and he was the only one who could wake the team up at times. Initially, trading him seems like a terrible idea, we'll see how it plays out.
Why aren’t the media members mentioning the only reason the Celtics ran the offense that way. Was because he had what 1 week or or so after getting the job that’s no time to actually create a scheme or a defense. A whole offseason this team on both ends will be drastically different.
He could have still practised running a better offense throughout the season. It was a trial season anyways for him i mean technically the only reason they were labeled contenders this year is cause they still won a lot of games. But no one would have mauled him for having a 44-38 type of season if it was headed that way last year. Now this year theres real expectation but in all honesty, that latest trade tells me that they are going all in on last seasons style of play
@@haniesmail3001there's only so much you can do during the season, with regular practices, film sessions, etc. You got to work on what's in front of you in the moment
I do agree with you about having a whole off season to create an scheme will help.. But he has other issues that have nothing about getting the a week b4 the season.. They were in the Eastern Conference finals and there is a time out and Holford was leading the TO while the coach was huddled up with the other coaches trying to figure out.. I am not saying he isnt a good coach but i think he still may be in over his head with this particular group but only time will tell
Im not happy either we literally had the perfect trade with brogdon 4 porzingus but cus he got hurt he fell threw i don't get why they wouldn't have traded D white an Prichard plus the 35th pick 4 porzingus instead of smart
Porzingis does kind of solve the offensive continuity bc now if the offense becomes stagnant Brown or Tatum have someone they can run a pick and roll or pick and pop with in Porzingis

Porzingis hasn't had multiple seasons of playing 60+ games since his rookie and sophomore year. Big gamble by Boston, but that being said could be worth it since he's in a contract year.
I'm a huge Smart fan and can't believe the trade went through, but putting it into context Smart is 29 and had also had issues staying on the floor across a season. Big hole to fill to replace Smart on this team now
@@erraticentertainmentwhy you tryna bully people in the comments clearly you don’t know too much since porzingis ain’t been on too many playoff teams to begin with

First of all, the Denver Nuggets hold that honor ...and second of all, the Celtics really lacked interior offensive firepower. Who was their biggest threat around the paint?

I’m not gonna lie, they got a guy who averaged 23 & 8 w/2 blks & all they gave up was a guard in a loaded backcourt. It was really great value. Plus, they can finally play 5 out
@@erraticentertainmenthe wasn’t dpoy last year and how is 23 and 8 in the nba mid and 11.6 and 6 on 41 and 33 shooting percentages fire I like smart but you not making sense
I dont understand Perks confusion. Both teams got that they needed in the trade. I think there are certainly questions to be answered like health, defense, and leadership without Smart but on paper this makes sense all around. The CP3 trade was a head scratcher not this.
Porzingis might be the best player in that 3-team trade but he's not a winner. Smart is. DPOY. He's kinda what Draymond is to the Dubs. Heart and soul.
Kendrick Perkins 2021 - “I think something drastic needs to happen, and it’s not firing Brad Stevens,” he said. “I think that Marcus Smart has ran his course. I think guys are tired of hearing his voice in the locker room. I think guys are tired of his ill-advised shot-taking at times, some of his turnovers that he has.”
porzingis does not make the celtics a superteam he hasnt even been a allstar my guy jesus christ y'all put a title on anything just because you see ppg on a non playoff team
Perk too dumb to realize Celtics got too much of the same thing ain’t gonna get a different result. Too much wings and guards. Get some size and shooting in porzingis plus two first rounders, that’s a great deal. Stop acting like Smart was the same tough guy versus the Warriors in the finals when draymond was punking them, marcus was docile as a house cat.
Perkins dont like it because Smart is a lot like him. Primarily a defender who lives off making the most idiotic plays. Both are a walking shaqtin a fool highlight reel.
Celtics got Porzingis who is a much better player than Smart and also two 1st round picks? I like Smart and i agree that he was heart n soul of this team but this deal was a no brainer and huge W for the Celtics, i can even say that this is Brad Stevens masterclass move. On the paper they're looking better right now with Porzingis and i think that they are not done yet with making moves in this offseason
@@dwaynestjohn5324 I get it but they needed to do something and it was probably impossible to trade Brown for a player of his caliber or better so they decided to trade Smart. Celtics fans i will tell you only that Raptors fans were also sad that Derozan was gone but they got rewarded with a title :)
This trade is way better for the Grizzlies than the Celtics. Pairing Smart with Jackson Jr. gives you two DPOY players in the same line-up. Once Ja gets back, they could be serious contenders.
lol exactly you guys get it. i love smart as a player through and through a top 5 favorite player of mine in the league but he doesn’t do much for them. they needed shooting not more grit. and the tyus loss was huge.
The real winner of everything was the Wizards. They got out of Beal's awful contract, Chris Paul's awful contract and Porzingis awful contract. And got a good young player in Jordan Poole.
Grizzilies finally lets go. They fcked my fav team with Ja gun addiction and Extreme weird trash talk from Dillon. Rebuild please. Ahhh Marcus is good. Awesome. I think Miami and Memphis has a dawg mentality I love it.
I’m actually with perk I don’t understand this trade but I guess it was the Malcolm thing and guess make jaylen more of a James harden role point guard
Is Porzingus a better player than Smart? Yes, yes he is. Does he fulfill the need for a quality starting big? Yes. Did the C's get 2 first round picks AND a starting player for Smart? Yes Did Marcus (great Celtic that he is) create a team dynamic problem with the Js and the coach? Yes, he did. Mr. Smart wasn't good enough to be lead dog, but he insisted he was. This was a great trade for Boston and Memphis.
Is Porzingis always injured? Yes he is. Good luck Celtics, traded away one of your biggest assets who helped you make two consecutive deep playoff runs for a player who can’t stay healthy and whose last playoff game was 2 years ago, having also played terrible in that series against the Clippers. End of an era indeed.
Porzingus is a great pickup for Boston but they’re not going to be able to re-sign Grant Williams. They got 25th and next years GS FRP for Smart but those are late picks. Brogdons injury might require surgery which means he might miss time. Honestly their perimeter defense is going to take a big hit.
This was a good move by the celtics, puts more onus on tatum & brown to get it done. Porzingis will give them more versatility with scoring in the post
I love Marcus, but his leadership Perk keeps talking about didn't win a championship. I often times wanted Derrick White in the game over Smart this past year. I will always be a Marcus Smart fan. He was all hustle but this team needed a change and I don't think trading JB or JT was the answer. We will see how KP fits but we basically got KP plus 2 first round picks for Marcus Smart. Brad Stevens should have been fired if he didn't take that deal.
hard agree. white is essentially the same player. but a better decision maker and more efficient. i also like brogdon as well if his feelings aren’t all hurt. i love marcus smart and this hurts but it makes sense.
A lot of Celtic fans tend to be quite emotional, including me i must admid. But with rational thinking, from the forbrain and which inhibit anxious thinking, this trade make sense from a business persepctive. I love Marcus, hate to see him go, just like Perk back in 2011, but it's for the better of a team that just wasn't good enough to win it all.
I didn't like the trade either. Celtics fans now blaming the Clippers. 😂 Why? Because we didn't want to accept an injured player in Brogdon? Nobody forced a gun in Brad's head to pull that Smart trade.
I thought they needed more of a point guard. Someone that can run their offensively efficiently rather than getting porizingis. Porzingis is very injury prone.
Man I love smart but truth is n the playoff. No one could score n the paint except Tatum or brown. Especially against zone. Porzingis will b instant offense to break the Zone. We’re not forced to only score on 3s. Now we have an in and out game. Smart Tatum and Brown all are 3 point shooters. Smart can post on small guards but it’s not effective to win a game. This is a no brainer
this seems to be crazy at first thought but like for real , i don’t think smart would wanna come off the bench either and you really about to start JA bane and smart? i mean i guess? idk
@@tannerw5011 Morant could be traded. He's a wicked gangster wannabe who won't change. Can a leopard change it's spots ? Can an Ethiopian change it's color? He is what he is.
Good trade for Boston but bad landing for Marcus. Him and a couple of those grizzles players will most likely clash. I hope not but I can see it because players like bane, ja, Jackson Jr are pretty cocky and talk allat smack. They not gonna listen to smart lol.
Jaren Jackson nor bane talk especially Jackson he the most humble nba will never be how it is cause fan like u get mad when players show emotion to the game soft
@@kingjaylen9364 they both have talked smack. Bron, draymond, big perk, klay, & etc all have said that. They talk so much when they haven’t won anything.
Perkins i love you but totally disagree with you on this one, Celtics made a good trade, now we got SASSER from Texas, he is a defensive nightmare for people.
Memphis needs leadership. That teams average age is 23 years old. I can see why Smart is going to the Grizzlies. Hopefully, he can tell Ja to stop being a dumbazz.
Career shooting 41/33/74 and averaged 12 points per game. He won't be missed. Dude can't even guard Caleb Martin, and people are acting like the Celtics just lost prime Wilt Chamberlain. He's an undersized guard whose defense will get worse with age, and whose offense is a liability in big moments.
The problem with Smart this year is the team fell apart when it matters most but you can't trade Smart because he is the glue that holds them together?
@@erraticentertainment just cause you made the finals the year before that doesn’t mean you gonna win the next year and he’s such a terrible coach but ime only has 3 more wins than him in the postseason
I am all Celtics fan. Perk, you are wrong and you should have seen that coming when they got White and then Brog. Smart was great but a huge Locker room problem! Equally, he prohibited the growth of the Celtics going way back to when they had Kyrie & even Walker. He wanted to always be that third man in the "Superstar" role and though he prove to be a gritty prominent part of the team, the actual leadership role belongs to the Superstars and smart was not a Superstar so he then forced the leadership role. That role conflicted with a few players including Al Halford when he came back! It also put himself in a position to force the starting guard position where he did not belong and it cost us champions. Porzingis is the third Superstar threat that the C's need in their rotation and if you ask me, I would say RW the 3rd was always that third man threat anyway, so now we actually have a 4 Man threat and with White playing guard , that makes a 5 Man threat, specially when it comes to defending Yanis & Embid or anyone else trying to penetrate the hole! I say SMART move on Brad's behalf! That's the right headline!
If Kendrick Perkins doesn’t like it, it’s probably going to work out well.
Exactly
Yeah but this is literally Marcus smart we are talking about. Porzingis is a good player but not having smart on the team next season is gonna be a very hard adjustment to make. Just went from 60 3s a game with decent defense to 90 3s a game to close to no defense.

@@dwaynestjohn5324 I get it but they needed to do something and it was probably impossible to trade Brown for a player of his caliber or better so they decided to trade Smart. Celtics fans i will tell you only that Raptors fans were also sad that Derozan was gone but they got rewarded with a title :)
@sdadsada6429 raptors would have won with derozan. This was a good trade for Boston though I believe.
@@dwaynestjohn5324 idk if he was the heart and soul
Well, now I know the Celtics won the trade because perk thinks they lost and he’s never right
I’m sure if the lakers got smart he would’ve loved it ;)
Ever since Shannon left skip and Shannon sharpe I’ve been a lot of epsn lol wonder where he will go
This trade is way better for the Grizzlies than the Celtics. Pairing Smart with Jackson Jr. gives you two DPOY players in the same line-up. Once Ja gets back, they could be serious contenders.
Yea
grizzlies were one of the worst shooting teams in the league smart makes them worse also his defense slipped this past season and hes 30
@@justinalley3399exactly plus losing Tyus who’s a very valuable backup point guard who complimented Ja so well
@@TyroneBiggums789 marcus is also turnover prone
lol exactly you guys get it. i love smart as a player through and through a top 5 favorite player of mine in the league but he doesn’t do much for them. they needed shooting not more grit. and the tyus loss was huge.
The real winner of everything was the Wizards. They got out of Beal's awful contract, Chris Paul's awful contract and Porzingis awful contract. And got a good young player in Jordan Poole.
Wizards about to be Good, with Poole and Grizzlies backup point guard
Grizzilies finally lets go. They fcked my fav team with Ja gun addiction and Extreme weird trash talk from Dillon. Rebuild please. Ahhh Marcus is good. Awesome. I think Miami and Memphis has a dawg mentality I love it.
Bruh I missed Brooks and Jones already 😢
I’m actually with perk I don’t understand this trade but I guess it was the Malcolm thing and guess make jaylen more of a James harden role point guard
Fat perk just a grizzlies hater
And a boston hater, he is a horrible analyst
He’s a bandwagon reporter
Is Porzingus a better player than Smart? Yes, yes he is. Does he fulfill the need for a quality starting big? Yes. Did the C's get 2 first round picks AND a starting player for Smart? Yes
Did Marcus (great Celtic that he is) create a team dynamic problem with the Js and the coach? Yes, he did. Mr. Smart wasn't good enough to be lead dog, but he insisted he was.
This was a great trade for Boston and Memphis.
Absolutely, especially when you consider the picks C’s got back and the fact that Porzingis is in the final 2yrs of his contract
Is Porzingis always injured? Yes he is. Good luck Celtics, traded away one of your biggest assets who helped you make two consecutive deep playoff runs for a player who can’t stay healthy and whose last playoff game was 2 years ago, having also played terrible in that series against the Clippers. End of an era indeed.
@@vodolara2644 Games Played 2022-2023 Smart 61, Porzingus 65 .
@@vodolara2644 He's played more regular season games in his career than Joel Embiid, be quiet.
Smart > Ja
Porzingus is a great pickup for Boston but they’re not going to be able to re-sign Grant Williams. They got 25th and next years GS FRP for Smart but those are late picks. Brogdons injury might require surgery which means he might miss time. Honestly their perimeter defense is going to take a big hit.
Bad trade tbh
Perk says embiid is the real MVP not joker
Perk is dumb as an analyst
Those best plays at the end were filthy
This was a good move by the celtics, puts more onus on tatum & brown to get it done. Porzingis will give them more versatility with scoring in the post
And more water on the bench after injuries 😂
@@boota1859he played 65 games last year
I love Marcus, but his leadership Perk keeps talking about didn't win a championship. I often times wanted Derrick White in the game over Smart this past year. I will always be a Marcus Smart fan. He was all hustle but this team needed a change and I don't think trading JB or JT was the answer. We will see how KP fits but we basically got KP plus 2 first round picks for Marcus Smart. Brad Stevens should have been fired if he didn't take that deal.
hard agree. white is essentially the same player. but a better decision maker and more efficient. i also like brogdon as well if his feelings aren’t all hurt. i love marcus smart and this hurts but it makes sense.
Perkins makes this seems personal he is to angry
Marcus smart deserves better than this
Boston got 2 1st round draft picks they can use to rebuild if Porzingis/Tatum/Brown doesn't work.
Celtics didn’t want my Clippers to get Malcolm b smh if we got him and he stayed healthy I promise we would’ve win it all
Kendrick always been hating on Porzingis
He hates on everything Boston does, f perk
Cause porzingis isn’t good?
@@boota1859 yes he is, maybe to you he isn't cuz the wiz suck but when he is healthy he is good
@@beantown4life could say the same thing for Greg oden lol “if he’s healthy” well sorry to tell u porzingis is finna kyrie the Boston Celtics 🤣
@@boota1859 nope he isn't, but keep hating on Boston, many people do cuz your team must suck
This made no sense Boston up and down in all of this because KP can't stay healthy plus you have Robert Williams who is also injury prone
Yea I dislike that trade...
Kendrick perkins Gotta stop talking man🙄😂
I’m agree with KP
A lot of Celtic fans tend to be quite emotional, including me i must admid. But with rational thinking, from the forbrain and which inhibit anxious thinking, this trade make sense from a business persepctive. I love Marcus, hate to see him go, just like Perk back in 2011, but it's for the better of a team that just wasn't good enough to win it all.
I didn't like the trade either. Celtics fans now blaming the Clippers. 😂 Why? Because we didn't want to accept an injured player in Brogdon? Nobody forced a gun in Brad's head to pull that Smart trade.
Poverty franchise
I thought they needed more of a point guard. Someone that can run their offensively efficiently rather than getting porizingis. Porzingis is very injury prone.
Man I love smart but truth is n the playoff. No one could score n the paint except Tatum or brown. Especially against zone. Porzingis will b instant offense to break the Zone. We’re not forced to only score on 3s. Now we have an in and out game. Smart Tatum and Brown all are 3 point shooters. Smart can post on small guards but it’s not effective to win a game. This is a no brainer
Celts my squad and Smart my guy but he got cooked n the playoffs by every guard we played. Trey then Maxey then Lowry.
Kendrick saying he doesnt understand this trade just speaks to how much he doesnt know about putting a team together
Perk went from the grizz biggest supporter to the biggest hater in 1 year
if Perks doesnt like then it is probably a good trade
"u kno what this means?"
The fact that perk doesn’t like the trade bodes well for the Celtics
good for memphis perk doesnt like it. my money is it will work out
Maybe the Grizzlies are planning to trade Morant.
Got to be because I can't see Smart coming off the bench
@@GQ-jv9uw
Morant will shoot his guns, since he can't shoot the basketball for 25 games. He's a wicked gangster wannabe.
Naw
this seems to be crazy at first thought but like for real , i don’t think smart would wanna come off the bench either and you really about to start JA bane and smart? i mean i guess? idk
@@tannerw5011
Morant could be traded. He's a wicked gangster wannabe who won't change.
Can a leopard change it's spots ?
Can an Ethiopian change it's color?
He is what he is.
He’s speaking from the heart on this one. Can’t blame em, it’s hard finding players like that
Marcus Smart better act like he want to be in Memphis,Cuz Grizzlies fans are tough🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Crazy the warriors couldn’t get KP for JP somehow they manage to get CP🤦🏽♂️
Kendrick Perkins makes me think... That slavery was negotiated... 😂 That's my Paul Mooney impression! Hate, hate, hate! 😆
Good trade for Boston but bad landing for Marcus. Him and a couple of those grizzles players will most likely clash. I hope not but I can see it because players like bane, ja, Jackson Jr are pretty cocky and talk allat smack. They not gonna listen to smart lol.
Jaren Jackson nor bane talk especially Jackson he the most humble nba will never be how it is cause fan like u get mad when players show emotion to the game soft
Bane talk mad 💩. He’s also a 3 level scorer so he can do that.
@@kingjaylen9364 they both have talked smack. Bron, draymond, big perk, klay, & etc all have said that. They talk so much when they haven’t won anything.
Perk ..We never had a problem with Celtics offense..Tatum and Brown lead the league I'm turnovers
Big Mistake, Marcus Smart is Boston. I absolutely hate Boston but anything but green on Marcus Smart is wrong.
Celtics Brought in Malcom B Too Replace Marcus Smart From the Get Go.. Atleast Smart Will Make Memphis Better..
I agree with Big Perk and I am not a Celtics or Grizzlies fan. The Celtics should not have traded Marcus Smart he played defense for them.
This must be the benefit of being the President of the Player's Association. Going to the Warriors on your way out.
Celtics brought in a 3rd diva. 3 players that want to be the guy. KP not loyal And has a history of chemistry issues and injuries. Smh , but okay.
360 pound Morris Chestnut 😅😅😅
Perk FAF😅
Grizz lookin scary
That team looking better than the celtics just by adding Smart
Perkins i love you but totally disagree with you on this one, Celtics made a good trade, now we got SASSER from Texas, he is a defensive nightmare for people.
Memphis needs leadership. That teams average age is 23 years old. I can see why Smart is going to the Grizzlies. Hopefully, he can tell Ja to stop being a dumbazz.
I would've preferred to trade Jaylen Brown. He will be wildly overpaid and has one of the worst handles in the NBA... always a turnover machine!
I didn’t watch the video yet but I’m betting Perkins didn’t like a black guy being traded for a white guy. What a bad month it has been for Perkins.
Now Tatum or Brown have to be the Heart & Soul of the Celtics... May they never win a championship again lol
Career shooting 41/33/74 and averaged 12 points per game. He won't be missed. Dude can't even guard Caleb Martin, and people are acting like the Celtics just lost prime Wilt Chamberlain. He's an undersized guard whose defense will get worse with age, and whose offense is a liability in big moments.
Perk doe not like anyone but LACHINA…HE HAS A MAN CRUSH ON HIM
Perk also called us all Racist for not voting for choker embid…..
The problem with Smart this year is the team fell apart when it matters most but you can't trade Smart because he is the glue that holds them together?
Not his fault. The trash ahh coach wanted offense and didn't care for defense. Terrible coach compared to Ime
@@erraticentertainment they fell apart under Ime too.
@@ScottH.They made it to the finals with ime on his 1st year and on his 2nd year he would’ve won a chip for sure
@@erraticentertainment just cause you made the finals the year before that doesn’t mean you gonna win the next year and he’s such a terrible coach but ime only has 3 more wins than him in the postseason
I am all Celtics fan. Perk, you are wrong and you should have seen that coming when they got White and then Brog. Smart was great but a huge Locker room problem! Equally, he prohibited the growth of the Celtics going way back to when they had Kyrie & even Walker. He wanted to always be that third man in the "Superstar" role and though he prove to be a gritty prominent part of the team, the actual leadership role belongs to the Superstars and smart was not a Superstar so he then forced the leadership role.
That role conflicted with a few players including Al Halford when he came back! It also put himself in a position to force the starting guard position where he did not belong and it cost us champions.
Porzingis is the third Superstar threat that the C's need in their rotation and if you ask me, I would say RW the 3rd was always that third man threat anyway, so now we actually have a 4 Man threat and with White playing guard , that makes a 5 Man threat, specially when it comes to defending Yanis & Embid or anyone else trying to penetrate the hole! I say SMART move on Brad's behalf! That's the right headline!
