Noa Dalzell: Anfernee Simons said he had just woken up from a pregame nap in Dallas when he learned he was traded to the Bulls: ?Brad is a good guy, and he's always been open and honest about everything. Obviously, it was a tough conversation for him, for me to accept, but I understood.?

Bobby Manning: Anfernee Simons told me he was starting to see a future for himself in BOS: "You wanted to see the light at the end of the tunnel ... but obviously it's the NBA. They traded for a great player." He could see himself returning: "For sure down the line. I enjoyed my time here."

Tatum returning this season to a team playing much better than expected is very tempting and the possibility of a playoff run then very exciting.
But as I have said before, my ONLY priority for decision making is to add to our ability to win championships.
I think the best decision towards that end is to wait 'til next season to bring Tatum back.
Keep developing the young guys, find a way to significantly upgrade the center position and add a knock-down shooter.
I have always liked Queta and am happy to see him playing so well, but he needs to be our very solid backup and not attempt to be a championship starter.

If the Celtics add Tatum, they are contenders for a championship this season. Team is currently 2nd in the East.

I wouldn't go so far to say contenders for a championship.  contenders to come out of the East -- certainly.

I hope Simons gets a nice recognition from the fans tonight.  I know he was not here long, but he won us some games and did everything asked.
