Brian Scalabrine added to NBC Sports and Peacock coverage team for national NBA broadcasts

What irks Boston Celtics fans more, Marcus Smart to the Lakers, or Ben Simmons rumors?

What are Boston Celtics fans more irked by, Marcus Smart to the Los Angeles Lakers, or Ben Simmons rumors? The Celtics have been linked to the former Los Angeles Clippers big man despite his well-publicized travails during his stints with the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers before joining the Clippers in the same week that Smart, former Boston floor general, signed a deal with the Lakers after being bought out by the Washington Wizards. Needless to say, neither of these offseason news items went over well with a large portion of the Boston faithful, with some riled up by the possibility of seeing a beloved former player suiting up in gold and purple, and others cringing at the notion of Simmons playing for the Celtics. The folks behind the "NBC Sports Boston" YouTube channel put together a clip taking a closer look at what is behind the visceral responses to both. Check it out below!
