Will the Boston Celtics trade Anfernee Simons this offseason?
Will the Boston Celtics trade Anfernee Simons this offseason? And if they do move on from the former Portland Trail Blazers guard even before he has a chance to suit up for the Celtics, what sort of move will it be? We have been hearing reports from multiple sources that the Celtics are actively shopping Simons.
And given the team remains about $300,000 over the collective bargaining agreement (CBA)'s dreaded second apron, we expect the team to try to dip under that bright red line in terms of team building to get out of the severe penalties that will bring on Boston regarding making trades, draft picks, and their tax bill. So any sort of move from the Celtics make with regard to Simons will likely be in part a financial one, but also might help in addressing the roster imbalance given Boston's lack of starting caliber big men.
