Marcus Smart sounds pretty excited about re-signing with the Boston Celtics.
Smart, who agreed to a four-year, $52 million deal to return to Boston, took to Twitter on Thursday to post a photo of himself signing his new contract with Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck, GM Danny Ainge, and agent Happy Walters in the background. The tweet also included 17 trophy emojis in the shape of the number 17 (which is the number of championships that the Celtics have won) with another trophy emoji next to it, hinting at another championship.

It’s certainly a drastic 180 after just last week when the Smart looked like he might be on his way out of Boston.
As for the 18th championship suggestion, it’s probably not all that crazy. The Celtics should be the favorites to win the East next year with Gordon Hayward and Kyrie Irving both returning from injury and with LeBron James leaving the conference. Thus, it might actually be a mild disappointment if the team does not win at least one title over the course of Smart’s new four-year deal.
