The Boston Celtics have new governors, a superstar recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, and apron penalties they would prefer to avoid incurring. With this in mind, the opportunity to watch Anfernee Simons come into his own alongside Jaylen Brown and Derrick White may never arrive.
Simons is a dynamic talent capable of creating for himself and others, but as the Celtics' new governorship group looks to cut costs, a new rumor seems to confirm his contract will be moved.
Simons, 26, was acquired in a trade that saw Boston part ways with one of the most important players from their 2023-24 championship season: Jrue Holiday.
