Marcus Smart keeps the green “blood” in him. The Celtics have officially announced the full-back’s contract extension, at $ 77 million for four more seasons.
A re-signing which gives great pleasure to his former coach, and now manager, Brad Stevens: ” We are delighted to have the opportunity to extend Marcus, and grateful that he has chosen to remain a Celtic. During his seven years in Boston, he made a big impact, on and off the pitch. It’s no coincidence that all of the teams he’s played in have made it to the playoffs, with several series won over the years. »
The person concerned never went on vacation at the end of the regular season. With Smart in the squad, the Celtics have even enjoyed three conference finals in four years (2017, 2018 and 2020). Smart “ contributes to victory on both sides of the court and demonstrates a courage and tenacity that few can match », Greeted Stevens.
Despite interest from other league franchises, from Wolves in particular, Marcus Smart obviously could not imagine playing anywhere other than Boston. Especially with so many millions of dollars on the table …
« There is no other place I would rather play and no other fans that I would rather play in front of, said the 27-year-old, drafted in 2014 by the club (6th position). I love Boston and Boston loves me. We have had great times and successes since I have been here, but there is still a lot to be accomplished. »
Despite the recruitment of Dennis Schroder, he should be the titular leader of this team which will have the ambition to do better than his elimination in the first round last season.
It’s at this moment that I saw where they dropped all them parachute ???? t-shirts from that come floatin down, one or two always getting their chute jacked up and twirlin uncontrollably ???? into someone’s nachos. ☘️ https://t.co/F866YxiyLt
