EDGE Analysis
Perhaps one of the last dominos of the NBA free agency sweepstakes took his fall in the early hours of Thursday. Smart's four-year deal is worth up to $52 million, a deal that could likely tighten Boston's finances moving forward. At just 24 years old, Smart has carved out a reputation as one of the league's best perimeter defenders. Despite somewhat of an afterthought amidst a star-studded green and white roster, Smart tallied 10.2 points per game and 4.8 assists per games during the 2017-18 campaign. Smart's return to Boston coupled with a new look eastern conference makes the Celtics a strong contender to win the east.
