As the saying goes, "fools rush in." The latest trade proposal involving the Boston Celtics would paint them as just that: fools.
The rumor suddenly swirling is that they should trade Anfernee Simons in a deal that nets them Malik Monk. The salaries of those two would require more players involved. However, those two headline the proposal.
At first glance, that has merit. Monk, who turns 28 a day before the trade deadline, is under contract for two more years after this season. However, even when that gets examined further, it becomes a reason for Boston to pass on this potential opportunity.
