If reports are any indication, guard Anfernee Simons might not be long for the Boston Celtics.
According to The Stein Line, Boston is looking to move the 26-year-old Simons — though the front office is not rushing to get a deal done.
The Celtics “will continue to invite trade discussion” for Simons, whom Boston acquired last month in exchange for two-time All-Star guard Jrue Holiday. Per The Stein Line, the Celtics will keep the window open through the 2025-26 trade deadline.
The 24th overall pick in 2018, Simons spent the first seven years of his career with the Portland Trail Blazers, averaging 15 points on 43.1 percent shooting that featured a 38.1 percent clip from 3-point range. He scored 20.7 points per game over the past three seasons in Portland while hitting 583 3-pointers.
Simons joined the Celtics on an expiring contract, with his acquisition saving Boston $40 million in luxury tax payments next season.
