Report: Celtics Still Considering Two More Offseason Trades
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content.
Brad Stevens and the Boston Celtics have been busy this offseason. Due to the torn Achilles injury suffered by Jayson Tatum and the team's luxury tax situation, the Celtics were forced to trade away two of their main pieces early on in the offseason.
First, the team made a big trade with the Portland Trail Blazers to ship out veteran star guard Jrue Holiday. Boston received Anfernee Simons in return as the centerpiece of the deal.
After that move, the Celtics made a trade to send Kristaps Porzingis to the Atlanta Hawks. Georges Niang was the main piece received back in that trade.

According to a report from NBA insider Jake Fischer, Boston is still showing interest in two other potential trades this offseason.
"As we discussed, I think the Celtics are still very active in taking trade calls—maybe even making trade calls. There was some conversation last week between Memphis and Boston about something. We're still looking to track down more info on that. But rival teams are definitely still under the impression that Boston is looking for deals involving both Anfernee Simons and Georges Niang," Fischer said.
Simons is currently owed over $27.6 million in the final year of his contract. He could be moved to save more financially, but Stevens did speak out recently and talk about the 26-year-old's future and potential fit with the team.
"Anfernee is a guy people out here probably don't see as much because of the time that they play," Stevens said. "But his ability to score, to shoot the ball, make really hard shots, is pretty elite. And you look, a guy that's 26 years old and averaged 20 a game for three straight years."

As for Niang, he has just one year left on his contract as well worth $8.2 million.
Of course, no one truly knows what a team is going to do. The Celtics could very well head into the 2025-26 season with both Simons and Niang on the roster.
Expect to continue hearing rumors surrounding Boston. At the very least, the Celtics are a team worth keeping an eye on as a franchise potentially still open for business.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our unaudited consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, we disclose certain non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income (loss) per share (EPS) that exclude certain charges (credits); operational net sales, which exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations; and organic net sales, which exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations as well as the impact of certain acquisitions and divestitures with less than a full period of comparable net sales. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and should not be considered in isolation from or as a replacement for the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Further, other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, which may limit the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes. To calculate adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income (loss) per share, we exclude certain charges (credits) from GAAP net income and GAAP net income attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders, which include amortization expense, goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, acquisition/divestiture-related net charges (credits), investment portfolio net losses (gains) and impairments, restructuring and restructuring-related net charges (credits), certain litigation-related net charges (credits), EU MDR implementation costs, debt extinguishment net charges, deferred tax expenses (benefits) and certain discrete tax items. Amounts are presented after-tax using the company's effective tax rate, unless the amount is a significant unusual or infrequently occurring item in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740-270-30, "General Methodology and Use of Estimated Annual Effective Tax Rate." In addition to the explanation below, please refer to Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in any Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that we have filed or will file thereafter for an explanation of each of these adjustments and the reasons for excluding each item. The following is an explanation of each incremental or revised adjustment type, since our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, that management excluded as part of these non-GAAP financial measures as well as the reason for excluding each item: Restructuring and restructuring-related net charges (credits) - These adjustments primarily represent severance and other compensation-related charges, fixed asset write-offs, contract cancellations, project management fees, facility shut down costs, costs to transfer manufacturing lines between geographically dispersed facilities and other direct costs associated with our restructuring plans. These restructuring plans each consist of distinct initiatives that are fundamentally different from our ongoing, core cost reduction initiatives in terms of, among other things, the frequency with which each action is performed and the required planning, resourcing, cost and timing. Examples of such initiatives include the movement of business activities, facility consolidations and closures and the transfer of product lines between manufacturing facilities, which, due to the highly regulated nature of our industry, requires a significant investment in time and cost to create duplicate manufacturing lines, run product validations and seek regulatory approvals. Restructuring plans take place over a defined timeframe and have a distinct project timeline that requires, and begins subsequent to, approval by our Board of Directors. In contrast to our ongoing cost reduction initiatives, restructuring plans typically result in duplicative cost and exit costs over the defined timeframe and are not considered part of our core, ongoing operations. In addition, during the second quarter of 2025, we incurred restructuring and restructuring-related net charges associated with management's decision to discontinue worldwide sales of the ACURATE neo2TM and ACURATE PrimeTM Aortic Valve Systems. These restructuring plans and activities are incremental to the core activities that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Restructuring and restructuring-related net charges (credits) are excluded from management's assessment of operating performance and from our operating segments' measures of profit and loss used for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The GAAP financial measures most directly comparable to adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and adjusted net income (loss) per share are GAAP net income (loss), GAAP net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders and GAAP net income (loss) per common share – diluted, respectively. To calculate operational net sales growth rates, which exclude the impact of foreign currency fluctuations, we convert actual net sales from local currency to U.S. dollars using constant foreign currency exchange rates in the current and prior periods. To calculate organic net sales growth rates, we also remove the impact of certain acquisitions and divestitures with less than a full period of comparable net sales. The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to operational net sales and organic net sales is net sales reported on a GAAP basis. Reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP financial measure are included in the accompanying schedules. Management uses these supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate performance period over period, to analyze the underlying trends in our business, to assess our performance relative to our competitors and to establish operational goals and forecasts that are used in allocating resources. In addition, management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to further its understanding of the performance of our operating segments. The adjustments excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures are consistent with those excluded from our operating segments' measures of net sales and profit or loss. These adjustments are excluded from the segment measures reported to our chief operating decision maker that are used to make operating decisions and assess performance. We believe that presenting adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) attributable to Boston Scientific common stockholders, adjusted net income (loss) per share, operational net sales growth rates and organic net sales growth rates, in addition to the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provides investors greater transparency to the information used by management for its operational decision-making and allows investors to see our results "through the eyes" of management. We further believe that providing this information assists our investors in understanding our operating performance and the methodology used by management to evaluate and measure such performance.

Technically speaking, the Heat drafted Roberts with the fifth overall pick of the expansion draft, but immediately traded him to the Milwaukee Bucks for a collection of draft assets. Roberts himself had come to the team in a trade from the Utah Jazz (for the pick that would one day become current-day NBA head coach Billy Donovan), where he would play two seasons for the storied franchise in a reserve role. Roberts would average 5.8 points, 2.4 rebounds, and an assist per game while with the team. It is also the birthday of former Celtic wing Javonte Green. He was born in 1993 in Petersburg, Virginia, and would play his college ball not far away at Radford. Going undrafted out of college, the future Celtic would play overseas before joining Boston for parts of two seasons between 2019 and 2021. Green put up 3.7 points and 1.8 rebounds per contest with the Celtics. Former Celtic guard Gary Payton shares the birthday with him. Born in 1968 in Oakland, California, Payton would attend Oregon State for his NCAA ball before being drafted second overall in the 1990 NBA Draft by the Seattle Supersonics. The Californian would play for that team, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Los Angeles Lakers before joining the Celtics in 2004. He'd play just one season for Boston, averaging 11.3 points, 3.1 boards, and 6.1 assists per game, and would leave the team in another trade with the Atlanta Hawks in 2005. Finally, today is also the day we lost guard Jerry Kelly in 1996. Born in New York City in 1918, the Marshall alum joined the Celtics in their inaugural season of 1946-47 for 43 games. He averaged 6 points per game across that stretch -- rest in peace.
