Most big-name free agents have already made their move, but a few fringe stars are still out there. Marcus Smart is one of those players. Per a new report, Smart feels "insulted" by what he considers a "lack of respect" from Boston. He reportedly wants to return to Boston, and the Celtics have claimed they want to hold onto him, but it seems Boston hasn't floated a figure Smart feels is a fair deal.
Multiple reports have indicated other teams around the league—including the Kings, Nets, and Grizzlies—may make a run at Smart.
Smart appeared to connect with the Nets at Summer League in Las Vegas.
In addition to Smart, Clint Capela (a restricted free agent with Houston) and Isaiah Thomas (an unrestricted free agent) remain unsigned.
