When the Boston Celtics acquired Anfernee Simons in exchange for Jrue Holiday, it was one of the most significant summer transactions. The Celtics needed to get beneath the second apron, so they had to make the move. Despite being a lot younger player than Holiday and a fantastic scorer, Simons doesn't seem to have any aspirations to stay with Boston. According to reports, the Celtics are considering making another trade to acquire Simons. After moving away from Jordan Poole, the Washington Wizards make a lot of sense as a trade partner because, although having an impressive young core, they lack the contributions Simons would provide.
The Celtics seemingly won the Holiday-Simons trade, according to consensus. Simons averaged 19.3 points per game because he has a versatile offensive skill set.
