I have recently written about Marcus Smart reportedly signing with the Lakers after being waived by the Wizards. Now I am concerned about his return to Boston this coming season in a Lakers uniform.
I agree with Noa Dalzell. Smart has his fans and critics in Beantown, but he gave his all when here. That should suffice for any Bostonian that may have thoughts of jeering "The Wolverine" when he takes to the parquet.I actually don't expect Celtics fans to boo Marcus Smart https://t.co/RmZwtJPsPK

The sometimes-bitter Celtics-Lakers rivalry is at the core of this question. Why did Smart sign with the Lakers? Was it animosity towards Brad Stevens for the trade - or how it was handled? Or does he see a good fit there for himself? Did Brad Stevens even approach him? I have no idea, but I am behind this guy that gave so much and got traded prior to his team achieving Banner 18 without him.
Will Celtics fans boo Marcus Smart upon his return to Boston in a Lakers Uniform?
