Portland Trail Blazers fans know Anfernee Simons is an extremely valuable offensive weapon. With his microwave scoring ability, he's singlehandedly won Portland games over the past seven seasons. He's also emerged as one of the more talented combo guards in the league, hovering around 20 points and five assists per game the past three seasons. The defense-heavy Blazers will miss Simons' offensive skill set this upcoming season.
Portland's loss will undoubtedly be Boston's gain on the offensive end, which Celtics president Brad Stevens recently touched on during media day.
"He is an electric scorer. He's an outstanding shooter," Stevens said.
