Boston Celtics: MA Congresswoman doesn’t want Marcus Smart trade - Hardwood Houdini

fijars.blogspot.com

If it were up to Massachusetts congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, Marcus Smart would be a member of the Boston Celtics for the rest of his playing career.

Of course, it’s not, and his 2022 free agency could force the Cs to take a hard look at the trade market this offseason should the right deal come around.

But it has to be a good feeling to be so respected and appreciated in the only state you’ve ever played professional basketball in. Smart likely has no idea the scope of his fan adoration in the state of Massachusetts and across the entire New England region due to his tireless work on and off the court as a member of the Boston Celtics.

The representative from Mass.’s seventh district tweeted out her support of the Boston guard on Saturday night following Smart’s hardwood heroism late against the Golden State Warriors:

Boston picked up its sixth win in a row against Golden State at the TD Garden on Saturday, and the Cs are now deadlocked with the Atlanta Hawks in a tight race for the #4 seed at 31-26. Right behind them at 31-27 is the New York Knicks, who knocked off the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday afternoon.

The final stretch of this season could see the Boston Celtics right the wrongs of the campaign’s early portion, and it could also lend credence to the idea that the Cs just weren’t getting going because of a lack of playing time together due to COVID-19 related absences and injuries.

Smart’s absence was a contributing factor to the team’s mid-season malaise, and things could finally be turning around just in time for the postseason.

If Smart could avoid shooting the Cs out of games and providing just as much offensive value as he does on defense in the playoffs, perhaps the Houdini will one day get on board with Pressley’s idea.

Until then, though, HH can’t help but scan the league and see who could be returned in a Smart deal.
