The Celtics have engaged in conversations with the Sixers over a potential trade for disgruntled guard Ben Simmons, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.
There are no signs of an imminent deal, although talks between the two teams remain fluid, per Charania's report. However, if any blockbuster trade between the two sides manifests, the Celtics would have to include star forward Jaylen Brown.
Brown made his first NBA All-Star team last season, as he posted career highs in points, assists, field-goal and 3-point percentage and steals per game. This season, the No. 3 pick in the 2016 NBA draft is averaging 25.
