Report: Marcus Smart frustrated, but Celtics ‘have no plans to part with him'

Share

Marcus Smart reportedly is "hurt and disgusted" by the lack of talk with the Celtics this offseason, but the team has no plans to part ways with him, according to Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe.

Though Smart is frustrated by the wait, Himmelsbach notes the 24-year-old guard is "over it" prepared to sign the Celtics' qualifying offer "if it comes to it."

If Smart signs the $6 million qualifying offer, he will become an unrestricted free agent next offseason. The Celtics, according to Himmelsbach, still see Smart as a part of their future and do not want the current situation to be seen as a standoff.
