Round Table: Should the Celtics Trade for J.R Smith?

It appears, enough is enough, and it's time for a change in New York. After a plethora of incidents (on and off the court), combined with a truly subpar season - sources say the Knicks have decided to start shopping J.R Smith

While they realize it may be difficult to pursue, the New York Knicks have begun to explore the potential trade market for guard J.R. Smith in recent days, ESPN.com has learned.

Sources close to the situation said Wednesday that the organization has become increasingly frustrated with Smith's on and off-court transgressions and increasingly feel that a fresh start might be best for all parties

A fresh start that's very clearly needed. With Smith making just a little over 5.5 million dollars a season (for at least this season and next) the Celtics could acquire the disgruntled star in more than a few ways. Begging the question, should the Boston Celtics look to acquire the reigning 6th man of the Year? Some of our expert staff weighs in:
