Overview

• Bleacher Report relayed that Boston is continuing to field offers for Anfernee Simons while pursuing more salary relief.
• An analyst proposal outlines Simons going to the Raptors, R.J. Barrett to the Nets, and Terance Mann plus Ochai Agbaji and a 2030 second-round pick to the Celtics.
• The pitch is speculative and not an agreed-to trade, serving as one framework for how Boston could trim costs and add wing depth.
• Boston’s cost-cutting follows Jayson Tatum’s torn Achilles and has already included moving Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis to get under the second apron.
• Simons is a 26-year-old guard on an expiring contract, a profile that makes him a prominent trade chip as the Celtics weigh paths to further reduce tax exposure.
