A Marcus Smart contract extension was the right move for the Celtics Aug 17, 2021

Show notes

Chris Forsberg reacts to the news that Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart agreed to a four-year, $77m+ contract extension that will keep him in Boston through the 2025/26 season. How does this major commitment from Brad Stevens and the organization affect the teams' salary cap flexibility moving forward? Does this move preclude Boston from making a trade for Bradley Beal or the next disgruntled NBA star looking for a change?

Also in this episode, could an extension for Robert Williams be next on Stevens' to-do list? And what we've learned from the Celtics very successful run in the NBA's Summer League in Las Vegas.
