Could the Boston Celtics come calling for one of the more confounding No. 1 picks in recent NBA history?
With Boston still limited financially as a result of the NBA’s CBA framework and the restrictive nature of the second-apron financial thresholds, Brad Stevens’ options to upgrade this roster are hard to discern. At least in free agency.
As such, longtime NBA insider Marc Stein noted earlier this week that Boston might be interested in a low-cost option still on the open market in Ben Simmons.
“League sources say that the Suns have also had some recent dialogue with former All-Star Ben Simmons, who I’m told has drawn interest since free agency began from Boston, New York and Sacramento,” Stein wrote on his Substack.
