ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported that the Celtics are "actively" shopping Anfernee Simons as they attempt to clear more cap space.

The Boston Celtics are reportedly exploring the possibility of flipping guard Anfernee Simons after acquiring him in a trade that sent veteran guard Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers this offseason.

Brad Stevens kicked the tires by sending Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers in a trade that has been tweaked since it was agreed upon, landing Anfernee Simons in return. At first, it seemed like the Celtics wanted Simons to share the court with Jaylen Brown and pick up some of the slack left by Jayson Tatum's injury.
