Boston Celtics Receive: G/F Ben Simmons

Brooklyn Nets Receive: C Al Horford, C Daniel Theis, 2022 Second-Round Pick, 2024 First-Round Pick

This would be the second trade involving Ben Simmons in just a few months.

Both would be without Ben Simmons stepping on the floor. He would take on an interesting role for this Boston Celtics team, but there would not be as much pressure offensively.

The value around Simmons has to have dropped after this year. His ability to score the ball was already in question, and now, he has not been on the court in a year. The Celtics might be able to take advantage of this.

Al Horford would lead the return, going back to the Brooklyn Nets. He has just one year left on his deal, and the Celtics should be looking to move this.
