NBA Season Preview 2022-23: Every team’s current longest-tenured player
By Luke Anton
Boston Celtics: Marcus Smart, 8 years
The No. 6 overall pick in the 2014 draft, reigning Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart has been on the Celtics for so long that David Ortiz was still on the Red Sox and Vince Wilfork and Darrelle Revis were on the Patriots when he first arrived in Beantown.
This season will be the first year of Smart’s four-year, $77 million contract that he signed last summer.
