Boston Celtics could consider parting ways with Anfernee Simons

Shocking news is coming from the Boston Celtics camp, and above all, very unexpected. We all understood the necessary cost-cutting fervor that guided Brad Stevens in his decisions to part ways with Holiday and Porzingis, greatly appreciating the acquisition of a young and highly scoring player like Anfernee Simons. However, what was not expected is that he could also be transferred.

Despite having already saved nearly $260 million, the accounts still don't add up for the Boston Celtics management. The primary goal of Brad Stevens is to keep Al Horford and Luke Kornet in the team, two key players considered vital in the quest for the championship ring in two years. Logic suggested that the Dominican's veteran status would lead to his departure, but they are willing to part with Anfernee Simons to ensure both centers stay.

The $27.7 million salary of Anfernee Simons didn't initially seem problematic, especially for a young player with great potential. However, Boston Celtics aims to give more opportunities to Payton Pritchard at point guard, as well as Derrick White, considering it more crucial to retain their two centers and save that money. It's a surprising and bold decision that has the entire NBA on edge, given that the former Blazers point guard may attract considerable interest from many franchises.
