Anfernee Simons has seemingly been on the trade block ever since joining the Boston Celtics as part of the Jrue Holiday deal back in June. The former Portland Trail Blazers guard is entering the final year of a four-year, $100 million contract and is set to earn $27.6 million in the 2025-26 campaign.
Many have pointed to Simons’ salary as an easy route to any financial goal Boston is aiming to hit this summer. Earlier on Tuesday, we saw the team ship out Georges Niang as well as two second-round picks to further evade the league’s second-apron line -- a noted goal all offseason long.
