BIG: Boston Celtics Enter Ben Simmons Trade Saga Amidst 76ers Dispute

It has been a while since fans have seen Ben Simmons in action. After a poor season with the Philadelphia 76ers, the experienced campaigner went on record to express his dissatisfaction with the franchise. Ever since then, there have been multiple issues. Following a break, Simmons rejoined the squad, only to have a fallout with coach Doc Rivers. After a long gap, there finally seems to be a solution to the 25-year-old’s problems.

Last year, Simmons had an abysmal outing. He lost all his form, which resulted in him warming the bench for a large part. In addition, his equation with senior man Joel Embiid reportedly collapsed, meaning that there was nobody to back the former All-Defensive team member. After four seasons with the blue devils, the #25 opted out, but with no bidders thus far. This has supposedly changed now, however, as the Boston Celtics seem to be interested in the guard-forward.

The Celtics haven’t been doing all too well this year. Winning only four out of their ten encounters, they sit at a poor 12th position. Yet, all is not lost for Ime Udoka and co. As per a latest report, the green team has expressed interest in acquiring Simmons from Philadelphia. The side could do with a senior guard-forward who can easily find his way to the basket. And the estranged star could be the perfect fit for them.

The Celtics have expressed interest in a trade for Ben Simmons and engaged in conversations with the Sixers.

According to Shams Charania, the Celtics have commenced conversations with the Sixers for a potential trade. Though talks have begun, there is no solution as of now. One thing is almost certain; Simmons would welcome the move with open arms. At Boston, he is likely to earn himself a lot of game-time, and will have the backing of his teammates. After rumors regarding a move to the Warriors died down, Boston is the latest and most likely destination for Ben Simmons.
