I'm getting the feeling the Celtics maybe know more about the Smart issue than we do.
It's almost like the hand thing bugged them more than they let on. Maybe a lot more.
Agree completely. Last year apparently the Cs offered 4 years at over $11 million per, Smart said no. After an injury riddled season, 11 games lost to a self-inflicted injury, and another awful offensive season, the front office isn't exactly jumping up and down to offer him an offer. It seems like they have even stepped back and removed that offer they gave him before last season.
Behind the scenes, I agree completely, the Celtics know a ton more that people don't that perhaps has soured their stance on Smart.
I have to say, having a player act so immaturely as to punch a glass picture and hurt himself in anger hours after the loss that left him out for 11 games(and luckily not more as reports are he came very close to doing much more severe damage), would make me deeply question giving such a person a long term lucrative contract.
