The Boston Celtics are making significant moves this offseason, highlighted by the departure of Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis as they navigate their financial landscape. With Jayson Tatum sidelined for the entire season due to a torn Achilles, the Celtics are in a rebuilding phase while hoping to secure a playoff spot led by Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. Anfernee Simons, acquired in the Holiday deal, could be on the trading block before even stepping onto the court for Boston, with potential trades being discussed.

One such trade would send Simons to Memphis in exchange for Brandon Clarke and other assets, which could enhance Boston's wing depth and provide another big man to their rotation. This move may be appealing to Memphis, given their recent need for scoring following Desmond Bane's exit. With various trade options available, Boston's front office has a lot to consider as they aim to balance depth and potential for next season.
