Biggest Priority: Find a way to keep Marcus Smart

The Boston Celtics will definitely use the offseason to get healthy, there’s no question about it. However, I believe that their biggest priority this summer should be to find a way to keep Marcus Smart on the roster.

Whether that’s on a short deal – potentially on a one-year deal – or on a long-term, team-friendly type, they need to get him to re-sign. Smart isn’t the type of player that’s going to change a franchise, but he’s the player that every championship team needs.

You hate playing against hime but love when he’s on your squad. This might be difficult to get done, however, because Smart is going to warrant big offers on the open market.
