2023–24 Boston Celtics season

This is the first season without long time Celtic and point guard Marcus Smart, whose tenure spanned 9 seasons from 2014 to 2023. In June of 2023, Smart was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies in a three-team trade to acquire forward Kristaps Porzingis of the Washington Wizards. On October 1, 2023, the Celtics sent guard Malcolm Brogdon, center/forward Robert Williams III, a protected 2024 first-round pick (acquired from the Golden State Warriors), and an unprotected 2029 first-round pick to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for 2-time All-Star guard Jrue Holiday of the Milwaukee Bucks.[1]
