A slow start to the 2021 season has many wondering if the Celtics have maxed out their potential with their current core revolving around Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
A new report from The Athletic Monday morning suggests Boston might be interested in shaking things up in a big way moving forward.
According to The Athletic’s NBA insider Shams Charania, the Celtics “have engaged in conversations” with the Philadelphia 76ers about trading for disgruntled point guard Ben Simmons.
The 6-foot-11 guard and former No. 1 overall pick has made headlines for attempting to force his way out of Philadelphia due to unhappiness about his role and has yet to play in a game this season.
