Heading: Going for the ring: Boston Celtics signs Nikola Vucevic

Boston Celtics wants to win the 2025/26 championship ring. In an unexpected move, the Massachusetts team has entered the NBA market before the Trade Deadline to sign Nikola Vucevic from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Anfernee Simons and a second-round pick.

Both players were on expiring contracts, both with 21.5 million dollars for the last year. The Celtics were looking for an interior player in the market to add more power to a team currently led by Jaylen Brown and awaiting the return of Jayson Tatum (who doesn't seem likely to return before the end of the current season).

Vucevic was averaging 17 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists per game with the Bulls this season. Simons, on the other hand, was contributing 14 points and 2 assists with the Celtics. Just before this, Chicago had acquired Jaden Ivey and Mike Conley in a three-way trade involving the Wolves and the Pistons.
