Bill Simmons floated this out there. The proverbial "Who says no?'

To Boston: Malik Monk

To Sacramento: Anfernee Simons, John Collins. Bogdan Bogdanovic

To LA Clippers: Zach LaVine, Dario Saric

I don't really know why any team would do that.

I don?t see why Boston would want to take on the long-term money owed to Monk.  Sure it gets them closer to being out of the tax this year, but then they have a pricey deal going forward that prevents them from taking advantage of their TPE next summer.

I also do not see it for the other teams either.

thought the same thing.  no idea what the appeal would be for any of the teams, well, maybe the Clips.  Lavine would be a scorer to take the load off Harden right now

I don't like it for BOS, not sure about the other teams.  Do people think that Monk is any better than Simons?  I don't see much difference.  Maybe throw in a LAC or SAC first round pick for BOS, and I would be interested (not likely, I know), but otherwise I see this as rearranging deck chairs for BOS.

The C's say no for sure.  Comparing Monk vs Simons, I think Simons is the better (younger) player.

Only if Boston knows of team with a big man they want and that team is more interested in Monk.   


Or if near the trade deadline and they can trade Simmons but still want part of his salary to trade in the offseason.   Simmons just coming off the cap doesn't really help the Celtics sign a player of value.

Monk has 3 years left

The best attribute of Simmons is that he is an expiring.



If I am swapping Simmons for Monk I want Nique Clifford added to the deal.

This trade isn't even close to legal. Clippers are currently about $1.3M under their first-apron hard cap. This trade has them taking on over $10M in salary.

I hate that guys like Bill Simmons and also the whole Barstool "empire" with Portnoy apparently represents the Boston sports teams across the country  ::)
