The Boston Celtics picked up Anfernee Simons from the Portland Trail Blazers at the start of the offseason in exchange for Jrue Holiday.

Ironically, Holiday was briefly a Trail Blazer after his part in their deal with Milwaukee for Damian Lillard in 2023 before the Celtics acquired him less than a week later. Boston was lifting another trophy within the year, in no small part due to Holiday’s stout defense and unselfish team play.

Per Marc Stein, the Celtics continue to work to move Simons as they look to reshape their roster. Does Simmons make sense?
