Woj: Jrue to Celtics

[jpotter33]

Are we really doing this? Brogdon was not helpful pretty much most of the playoffs last year, largely because he was injured. And guess what, he was injured with a season-ending injury yet again this year. So not sure how helpful that would've been.

As for Smart, I'm not even sure how he is brought up here, as we traded Smart for KP months before getting Jrue, so it was never even a possibility.

But, no, we wouldn't be better with Smart either. While Jrue has been somewhat disappointing in the playoffs thus far, I don't think Smart would be very helpful with this group either.

As many on here know, I've been critical of the extension because of Jrue's age and downward trajectory, but you make that trade every single time without giving it a second thought.  The team is simply better with Jrue and KP than it is with Smart, Brogdon, and Rob.
