Anfernee Simons might not get a chance to empty his luggage in Boston after the Celtics landed him in a deal with the Trail Blazers.
The Celtics are “exploring” the idea of trading Simons in order to create more roster flexibility and a greater path to keep their top two free agents, Al Horford and Luke Kornet, The Athletic‘s Jay King reported.
While the Celtics were able to get under the second luxury tax apron by trading Jrue Holiday to the Trail Blazers and Kristaps Porzingis to the Hawks, they’re still in the luxury tax by a considerable amount of money.
