A radical idea that most probably won’t come to pass but makes sense.
Celtics trade: Brown, Smart, Williams, Sac pick, Clippers pick, 2020 Celtics pick
76ers trade: Simmons
With the freed up cap space from Irving and Horford opting out then resigning on a long team friendly deal, Celtics can go after elite defined role players like Danny Green, Bogdanovic, Dedmon/Baynes
I know people dislike Simmons because of his broken jump but Stevens would be the few coaches out there to maximise him until his jumper is fix, his passing for us would be elite in the fast break then he would shift into the post in the half court, where Hayward and Horford control the ball.
Horford
Tatum
Hayward
Green
Simmons
This line up would be an elite defense and keep us competitive in the short and long term
76ers would also have much more of a functional offense around Embiid and given they may lose Butler and Harris, the extra picks would offer more trade incentives for depth.
