The Boston Celtics could end up being involved in the eventual Ben Simmons trade expected to imminently take place before the start of the 2021-22 NBA season.
Just not as the team that lands the 3x All-Star floor general.
Simmons doesn’t want to play another second in a Sixers uniform, even threatening not to show up to training camp next Tuesday. The odds are high that he is dealt in the coming days, but don’t expect President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens to buy low on the former #1 overall pick in 2016…even with his price tag seemingly dropping every second.
