"All the rumblings around the league is that Boston is now going to buy,"
"I don't know how that works. I don't know if they can buy and cut their tax bill at the same time. The obvious place for them to buy would be up front where they could use another legit front-court player. But this team is clearly really good."
The Celtics sit second in the Eastern Conference with Jayson Tatum nearing a return and have exceeded expectations this season. Zach Lowe reports league rumblings that Boston intends to buy before the trade deadline, though questions remain about balancing additions with luxury-tax considerations.

The Clippers have expressed interest in Simons, and Los Angeles center Ivica Zubac has emerged as a realistic target given his production and defensive presence.
