Celtics Eyeing More Trades After Porzingis Deal

The Boston Celtics came out ahead on the Marcus Smart/Kristaps Porzingis trade, but the deal can't be properly judged until it's seen how many games Porzingis can play and what effect Smart's loss has on the Celts' identity. The Celtics are expected to make further deals to reshape their roster. Losing Smart may force others to get bolder on defense and in loose ball situations. The timing of the trade was worth millions to Jaylen Brown, who became eligible for the supermax contract extension. NBA sources have been harping on the need for Tatum and Brown to improve at creating opportunities for each other.
