“I have talked to other teams that have said the Celtics are actively trying to trade Anfernee Simons,” Windhorst said on the “Hoops Collective” podcast.

Since the Celtics lost in the second round of the playoffs to the New York Knicks, there has been little optimism surrounding the team.

Simons, who's on an expiring $27.7 million deal this season, is the best player in the deal, but the additions of Kispert and Holmes would fulfill two positions of need for Boston.
