So it just may be that Brad Stevens values Marcus Smart as much as his predecessor, Danny Ainge did. The word is that the Celtics are offering The Wolverine a 4-year/$77 million deal.
The Celtics appear to be offering Smart the largest possible extension they can give him at the moment, per @Murf56

Here are some more details on the largest extension Smart could sign:
Starts in 2022-23
4 years, $77m total
$17.2m, $18.5m, $20m, $21.3m annual salaries https://t.co/rXwgtSX4zs
Marcus will never be a sharpshooter in the League, but he supplies the toughness - does the dirty work - defends like his life depends on it - and generally sets the tone for energy and intensity. Oh, and although not regarded as a true point guard, he led his team in assists last season, averaging 5.7 APG in the regular season and raising that number to 6.0 APG in the playoffs.
He has spent more years with The Green than any one else on the team, and he needs to stay. The decision is now up to him.
