Restricted free agent Marcus Smart is meeting with the Boston Celtics on Thursday in hopes of finalizing a contract, league sources told Yahoo Sports' Shams Charania.

Reports from Wednesday indicated that Smart's representatives and Celtics general manager Danny Ainge were discussing a four-year deal in the range of $46 million to $50 million.

In four seasons, the No. 6 pick from the 2014 draft has averaged 9.4 points, 3.9 assists, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.5 steals per game, though those stats belie his impact as a tireless hustler on offense and a tough on-ball defender.
