still looking for a reason why Houston would want anyone in deal for Capela.  the premise of Houston trading him is to free up cap space to sign Butler as a FA.  sending them Smart defeats that purpose.  if the goal is to have Houston reroute Smart to Philly, no way I want Smart playing for Philly.  Certainly not for Capela who I think is overrated.

Yeah if Smart just ends up in Philly, don't do this deal.

Yea Smart can't go there he will carry them to a dozen championships!! LOL you guys crack me up, he will miss 15-20 games from injury don't forget.

Feels like he is often injured / limited in the playoffs too.

I don't want to trade Smart, specially for Clint Capela. I think we could get what Capela gives from Nerlens Noel, for a way cheaper contract and without the need to trade any player
Better idea. Smart & Noel >>> Capela

This team does not need Capela. Bring Noel into the fold for cheap and let he and Williams battle it out for the starting center spot. There's no reason to trade anything of value for Capela. He's simply not that good.

Brown plays similar defense, has better offense, and he has a much better injury history.  Plus, Brown has been a better playoff performer.

I don’t think the Cs would do it. I honestly don’t see how Capella gets traded to Boston. I think that’s all smoke n mirrors. I think the Cs sign Kemba and then use vet deals and room exception to fill out big man spot and any remaining positions.

I am ok with all that.  We know we aren't a contender this year.

Awesome, awesome moment. One of my favorite Celtics moments of all time and definitely my favorite Smart moment. When he got that second charge I remember my tv about exploding due to the crowd.

Dude is nothing but heart and grit. Hope he retires a Celtic.

Man, besides just that amazing stretch by Smart, watching this clip also reminds me how that team was SO MUCH fun to watch night in and night out, even when Irving was out there on the court too (until he got injured later in the season). This past season just wasn't that though  :(

Brought a tear to my eye.

Houston can't sign Butler as a free agent.  They have to do a sign and trade.  The thought being that Philly wouldn't want Capela, so he would be routed to a 3rd team that would have a more appealing player or a draft pick that could be sent to Philly.  Smart would absolutely make more sense to Philly than Capela would.  Thus, that is why that component of the larger trade makes some deal of sense.
