Despite his flaws, I wanted him to retire a Celtic. I'm going to miss him.

I literally have tears in my eyes. This was not supposed to happen…I’ll miss you Marcus  :'(

Screw the Clippers  >:(
The team benefited from their hesitancy. I am feeling pretty grateful to the Clips

He can still come back! Maybe he does a Horford and has a gap year or two

Marcus is not my favorite Celtics player, but I really appreciate his contribution during his tenure with the Cs. Good luck Marcus.

I really hope this is a short stint in Memphis and he somehow returns asap.

Unfortunately, them giving two firsts and Jones to get him suggests they are very high on him. Pairing him with Morant and Bane should be a great fit.

I really wish him the best, he is a true Celtic and I really hope Game 7 wasn’t the last time we ever saw him in a Celtics uniform.

This is a shocking trade. But I guess it’s time to move on. He was a great Celtic, but his inconsistency and decision making often drove a lot of fans crazy. He also took the leadership (by default?)  role being the longest tenured Celtic. Now the reins are really with the Jays. This is their team now. Goodluck and thanks for the memories Marcus. Let’s go Celtics.

Should it? He's a better passer than Brooks, but the shooting issues of Morant + Smart is a real issue.

The best representation of how I’m feeling about this. My brain understands it, but my heart can’t accept it.

Truly going to miss my DPOY, Smaht. (Though my family may be thankful they no longer have to hear me tell SMAAAHHHTTTTTT when he makes a big play haha)

Gun to my head, Marcus was my favorite player on the team. It's probably the right basketball move, but very much a bummer.

100%.
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

PBS obviously had a plan A & B to get Zinger.

Smart was great but the time was right to move on. Memphis will need him to give Ja a clip round the ear next time he goes for his gun 🤣

Feeling sad. I wanted Marcus to be there when we won it all. A bit stunned.

The love hate was real for me. Best of luck Smart. Your heart was never a question.
