NBA Rumors: Boston Celtics Guard May Fit Well With Rebuilding Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors are seeking to recover from being the last team in the NBA. The squad is still in a position to bounce back strong as there are a lot of possible talents that the team can benefit from. One of these rumored players includes Boston Celtics’ Marcus Smart.

It would cost the Warriors a huge chunk of their valuable assets if they want a piece of Smart. The trusty guard has been one of the more reliable players for the Celtics in their Eastern Conference run. Averaging 13.5 points and 4.8 assists per game, Smart is also considered as one of the better defenders for Boston. The way he disrupts his opponents and hustles on the court is one of the more important aspects of his game.

With all of the options that the Warriors have, they can further deepen their roster with Smart by taking advantage of their resources. The Warriors have multiple choices to move around with and leverage for a strong trade. Rekindling their dominant team is still within grasp given the pieces that they have. The 2021 pick they received from Minnesota remains to be worthwhile and can be used to lure strong players for their team.

The 2019-2020 season features a different roster for the Warriors given that their veteran stars were replaced with rookies and younger players. It has been a unique year for Golden State care of the series of injuries and roster changes the franchise went through. That’s why having an experienced veteran and gritty player like Smart would work well with the Warriors.

Per Blue Man Hoop, the versatile guard is a strong fit for the team given his improved shooting and leadership skills. The 26-year-old has seen valuable minutes with the Celtics and is putting up a steady 34.8% from deep.

Being an experienced all-around player, Smart can work well with the likes of Draymond Green who possess a tough playing style. Couple this combination with the elite shooting of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson and it may just put the Warriors back into contention

While plans are not final yet for the Bay Area team, it would be interesting to see how Golden State approaches the upcoming years. It will be important to have experienced veterans that could further rebuild the winning culture of the Warriors.
