The Kristaps Porzingis trade took the NBA by storm last night, with the Boston Celtics sending Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for two first round picks, and the Washington Wizards receiving Tyus Jones in the trade.

The fact that it had to be a Marcus Smart trade is sure to leave Celtics fans in shambles, but I truthfully don't think you should be too upset about what you got for him. Porzingis is gonna do a lot for Boston, and his playmaking ability is actually a perfect fit alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. See the Boston Celtics trade away such an important piece of the core is sad, but this might be what the Celtics need to get over the hump.

And I'm sure not too many people care, BUT after the Bradley Beal trade and now the Kristaps Porzingis trade and getting Tyus Jones in return, I think the Wizards are doing a fantastic job of kickstarting their rebuild.
