Goodbye Marcus Smart, hello Kristaps Porzingis: On getting used to the new Boston Celtics

Many fans of the Boston Celtics are still trying to absorb the changes to their favorite team that happened in the lead-up to the 2023 NBA draft, with a core member of the ball club — some might say the heart and soul of the team — now part of the Memphis Grizzlies organization.

To that end, the hosts of the CLNS Media “First to the Floor” podcast elected to explore the Celtics’ recent blockbuster trade, and how they see the departure of Marcus Smart and the arrival of Kristaps Porzingis. They reflect on Smart’s unforgettable tenure in Boston, celebrating his iconic moments both on and off the court.
