Celtics’ Anfernee Simons Trade Decision Receives Update originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Boston Celtics officially acquired Anfernee Simons for Jrue Holiday on Monday. Though Simons is not the same player as Holiday, he is an efficient scorer who has averaged between 17 and 22 points per game over the last four seasons.

Moving Simons makes sense for such an end, as he is a talented young if faulted player on a large expiring deal.

The Boston Celtics are listening to trade offers for recent acquisition Anfernee Simons, who was part of the Jrue Holiday trade to the Portland Trail Blazers last month in a cost-cutting move. Simons averaged 19.3 points and 4.8 assists last season and is on an expiring deal worth $27.7 million.
