Needless to say, neither of these offseason news items went over well with a large portion of the Boston faithful.

After spending his last three seasons split between two different NBA teams, Marcus Smart now begins a new chapter with the Los Angeles Lakers. The former first-round pick is poised to bring both toughness and savvy to the Lakers’ rotation.

Despite his long ties to the Celtics, Smart expects Boston fans to boo him when he faces the team in a Lakers uniform this season. Smart signed with one of the Celtics' biggest rivals by joining the Lakers on a two-year, $11 million deal this offseason.
