Marcus Smart frustrated that Danny Ainge has not reached out to him since free agency started

Marcus Smart remains restricted free agent. But after almost a week of NBA free agency, no-one from the Celtics contacted him. And the guard is disappointed for that.

Per Boston Herald, “He loves the Celtics, but with these crickets he’s hearing, he’s hurt and disgusted by it,” said the source.

However, limited prospects aren’t the main issue behind Smart’s disillusionment.
“I don’t think that bothers Marcus as much as no communication from Danny (Ainge),” said the source.
“He would have thought there would have been some kind of three- to four-year deal from them to show they’re interested,” said the source. “But the qualifying offer is the only one he has received, and there’s been no talk since free agency opened. He’s most disappointed that there has been no reaching out from their end.
“He’s just hurt and frustrated that Danny hasn’t reached out. That’s the most discouraging part of this whole thing. The last contact was a few days before free agency started.”
