According to Sam Amico de Hoops Wire, Anfernee Simons may not go to the training camp at the Auerbach center next month with Philadelphia and Denver who seek to exchange against the young goalscorer:
“… Sixers seek to bounce back from a lost year after injuries to Joel Embiid and Paul George. You could make them a strong argument as the largest flop in the league in 2024-25.
The Nuggets have already done a big business this summer, acquiring the striker Cam Johnson of the Nets for the striker Michael Porter Jr. They would look for help in the rear area behind the starters Jamal Murray and Christian Braun – but taking into account their wage constraints, a minor miracle would be necessary to conclude another agreement.
Sources have said that the Bucks could be another team that will run in Simons before the training camp. »»
For Celtics, these tracks. Although he was the most talented player that Boston has exchanged this summer, he has not yet had an official press conference as Celtic and his name has only been briefly mentioned by the president of basketball operations Brad Stevens.
“Anfernee is a very good young player who continuously improved in his seven years in the NBA,” said Stevens via the team’s official press release.
It was reported that the front office has tried to find a new house for him after being acquired in the Jrue festivals and until September 29, when the media day and the training camp open, this rumor mill will continue to turn.
Simons has on average nearly 20 points per game in the last four seasons and there is no doubt that he can be a prolific marker as a starter or 6th man on the bench of a competitor. It owes only $ 27 million in the last year of its recruit extension, but cannot be treated until September 7, when the commercial restriction is lifted.
So what could an agreement look with the Sixers, the Nuggets or the Bucks? A choice of first round (or perhaps two or more seconds) would be a prerequisite. Would it be worth it to be capped hard in a sign and exchange agreement for Quentin Grimes? Probably not. There is no way to separate from Denver with Aaron Gordon. And unless Milwaukee GM, Jon Horst is ready to unload a ransom of first, Kyle Kuzma will not cut him.
Alas, everything is just like mid-August Scuttlebutt in the middle of winter of basketball.
