Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko and Mike Minkoff react instantly to Marcus Smart’s new contract extension. Smart signed a reported 4 year, $77.1 million contract extension that would kick in after this season. We like the deal but discuss how it impacts the salary cap going into the year Bradley Beal becomes a free agent. - “The Celtics are NOT going to have max cap space going into next season.” - Mike Minkoff - - Josh suggests Smart’s 77 number is lucky and Adam walks back his comments on the Celtics ownership group’s willingness to spend into the luxury tax as some of the least wealthy owners in the league. The guys move on to discussing Dennis Schroeder’s signing and role on this team including current preferences for starting lineups. Is Schroeder coming off the bench? Conversation moves to reactions to summer league at this point including looking ahead to the summer league championship game. Could Juhann Begarin or Yam Madar accept a 2-way contract with the Celtics? Finally, the Pride guys discuss their hopes for the rest of the offseason with a focus on a desired consolidation trade with the end of the bench. Lastly, congratulations to listener @ChrisCKerr for correctly guessing Josh’s trivia question about the last player to wear Celtics green with the name Bruno. Listen to the end for the answer. @ChrisCKerr now deserves the adoration of all Celtics fans for his Celtics PRIDE level knowledge of the Celtics. - - Remember to rate, review, and subscribe to the Celticsblog podcast feed (we're “Celtics PRIDE”) and follow us on Twitter @celticspridepod, a @celticsblog podcast. - Hosts: Adam Motenko, Josh Motenko @coachmotenko and Mike Minkoff, @mikeminkoffnba - Email: at [email protected] - You can find regular episodes of the CelitcsPod and Celtics PRIDE podcasts on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever else you listen to your podcasts. - Learn more about your ad choices.
