The Boston Celtics are facing a pivotal offseason as they grapple with the potential long-term absence of Jayson Tatum due to injury and looming salary cap implications. Trade scenarios have circulated, particularly involving high-salaried players like Jrue Holiday and the star Jaylen Brown. Bill Simmons proposed a radical trade to the Houston Rockets, suggesting that Brown, along with Holiday, could be moved in exchange for younger players and picks to alleviate the Celtics' financial strain ahead of the next season.
âI want them to keep Jaylen,â Simmons posted. âWas only saying if they decided as a last resort they had to deal him because of the 2nd apron it would have to be a deal that looked something like this, where they shed $20+ million in trade and get a few assets back.â
As the Celtics face significant luxury-tax penalties, they may need to consider such trades to ease their financial burden while rebuilding their roster.
