What seemed like it could turn into a transition season is evolving into an interesting course to develop players, address weaknesses, and continue competing. Boston Celtics aims to fight to win games and dreams of Tatum's return for playoffs they want to enter with a chance to compete. Consequently, NBA rumors are circulating about a potential trade.
It's an active waiting period, a competitive break that only implies less pressure but not a reduction in their aspirations. Boston Celtics only knows how to play to win, and even in a season marked by Tatum's injury and the departure of Porzingis and Holiday, they refuse to let go. The overall weakness in the Eastern Conference, Jaylen Brown's positive assumption of the star role, and the hopes for Tatum's miraculous return lead management to explore an intriguing trade.
This trade involves sending out Anfernee Simmons. While the young guard is performing well, having White and Pritchard as the primary perimeter options makes Boston Celtics see him as expendable in exchange for signing a reliable center. Queta and Garza are not enough in the paint to tackle competitive challenges, so they aim to sign Nic Claxton. The deal would include Simmons and a 2027 first-round Draft pick as part of the exchange with the Brooklyn Nets, creating a much stronger team.
