In a recent press conference, Celtics general manager Brad Stevens spoke about Anfernee Simons, who they acquired in the Holiday trade. In doing so, Stevens made it seem like Simons would be a big part of the team, even though he had already been named as a potential trade candidate.

Walsh ended up with a team-high 17 points for the Celtics in the victory as the third-year forward bounced back from a first-half ejection in Monday’s loss to the Heat. He came back with a chip on his shoulder and admitted he was fueled even more by the Lakers’ tactics against him in the matchup.

During his time suiting up for the Celtics, Stacom wore only jersey No. 27 and put up 5.3 points, 1.5 rebounds, and as many assists per game.

If the Celtics do trade Simons to the Grizzlies, they might be looking for a guard who can come off the bench. They need someone who can eat backup point guard minutes with Payton Pritchard moving up to the starting lineup.

He knows about what it takes to win multiple titles in close proximity as one of the only players to have won multiple titles with 3 different teams.

While it’s difficult to make a trade with so many moving parts, this deal could be ideal for Boston. With Simons on the way out, Boston would help its financial situation a bit more, and Hachimura could fill the void at the four while Jayson Tatum recovers from a torn Achilles.
