NBA:
If Simons becomes Boston's leading scorer with Tatum out, how should Boston structure a minimal-risk extension or not?
Qwiket AI:
Simons’ offensive punch gives Boston leverage, but the second apron limits long-term commitments. A short extension with modest guarantee could bridge the season while preserving cap room, or Boston could keep him as an expiring asset to maximize deadline trade value. The choice hinges on how a potential extension affects Tatum/Brown White dynamics and whether Simons’ production sustains on a heavier scoring load.
