Is it true that Ben Simmons is deciding between Celtics or Knicks??? Saw couple outlets reporting this but can?t take any truth to anything anymore

Those are the two prominent franchises you see in rumors, but I don't think Brad has any interest in Simmons.  Simmons can't space the floor, and he's a in the locker room.

Yes, if Brad were interested in Simmons, he would not have just signed Boucher.

Simmons can be used at Center, Boucher cannot. I think that would be the idea if he came to Boston.

We just created an open roster spot and Brad immediately signed Boucher to fill it.  Brad seemingly always starts with 14 players on the roster.  If he was actively negotiating with Simmons, he would have signed him when he had the spot instead of immediately signing Boucher and filling up the roster.  These rumors have no legs.

Speaking to reporters in Providence on Thursday, Celtics team president Rich Gotham didn?t exactly shoot down a scenario where Tatum could give the Celtics a boost in the spring especially if a revamped roster manages to make some noise in the Eastern Conference.

That?s a down-the-road question. That?s one you can?t really answer today,Gotham responded. But what I know about JT is, he?s gonna do everything he can to put us in a position to make a decision. He?s gonna work hard to get back as soon as he can, and we?ll see how soon that is. But for right now, we?re not really looking at timetables.
