Anfernee Simons is a genuinely good player providing value to the Celtics, but team needs could still see him off.
When the Boston Celtics acquired Anfernee Simons, a dilemma was instantly created. Simons is a talented player who can provide positive value to any team he's signed to, but he's also playing on an expiring contract for a side to which he offers more of a surplus of quality than a missing ingredient.
With the trade deadline just over one month away, the Celtics are now facing the reality that trading Simons still remains their most viable path to improvement.
