Additionally, there has been an update with Jaylen Brown and his future on the team as well. A key insider spoke on the Celtics' odds to part ways with the Finals MVP amid all the roster moves from this dramatic offseason.
BOSTON — While acknowledging the benefit of potentially escaping the luxury tax next season, Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens suggested Tuesday that no further trades are imminent and the Celtics could be done with significant changes this offseason.
While those were two major trades, Boston isn't done. A new report has suggested that Stevens is looking to make another big move. According to a report from ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst, the Celtics are actively trying to trade guard Anfernee Simons. He was acquired in the trade that sent Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers.
The Cavs -- the Eastern Conference favorites in July (+245 on DraftKings) -- have essentially turned Ty Jerome and Isaac Okoro into Lonzo Ball and Larry Nance Jr. The new players certainly come with more medical risks (though Jerome is no slouch in that department), but they bring decidedly different looks to Cleveland.
So far for the Boston Celtics, the offseason has been mostly about subtraction. Subtracting star players like Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, and subtracting their massive contracts from the books.
