Anfernee Simons

I still think he should be moved.   Once Tatum is back, I still see Pritchard going back to the bench and being offense off the bench.   Also, if Simons keeps playing this well, he will likely be offered more then the Celtics could pay with the current NBA system.


My hope is a team that wants him past this year doesn't want to wait until the offseason to get him and tries to get him in house and can send the Celtics either the big man they need or the pieces needed to build a trade for a big man.   


The better Simons plays, the less the Celtics need to send out extra pieces.

Pritchard will not be going back to the bench this year.  When Tatum is ready to return to the starting lineup, the Hauser/Walsh/Hugo/Minott spot will go to Tatum.  Anything else would be disruptive to the overall rotations and chemistry of the team.

We don't know that.   Pritchard seemed fine last year earning 6th man of the year.   

And for the long term of Tatum and Brown, have someone who can be the defender on the other teams best player can help save them for the long season.

Keep Anfernee....Remember Pierce/Garnett to Nets trade. That workout very well for the C's. Whatever happens it comes down to business decision while balancing the desire to hang another banner.

We should only trade him if we get something of value in return - we shouldn't make a deal simply for cap relief.  If we hold onto him, my guess is that we can resign him for cheap. There doesn't seem to be a huge market for guards.
