NBA Shockwaves Ahead: Top 10 Players Poised for Stunning Trades in 2025-26 Season
Anfernee Simons (Celtics)
Simons came to Boston as part of the Jrue Holiday salary dump trade with Portland, but he is not part of the long-term plan in Boston. Plus, if the Celtics want to get below the luxury tax line this season — and they do — trading Simons and his $27.7 million salary for someone making around $15 million does it.
Simons also brings value, averaging 19.3 points and 4.8 assists per game as a two-guard/wing in Portland last season. He’s athletic and just 26. He will help Boston on the court this season with Jayson Tatum out, then help them get under the tax at the deadline (so the Celtics can reload next season with a healthy Tatum and make another title push).
