"We wouldn't be in the position that we're in right now if he didn't help us win games... His care factor's really high and he wanted to do whatever it takes to win. That's what I'll remember him for."
"You wanted to see the light at the end of the tunnel ... but obviously it's the NBA. They traded for a great player."
"For sure down the line. I enjoyed my time here."
The Chicago Bulls lost to the Boston Celtics, extending the Bulls' losing streak and featuring Nikola Vučević's strong bench double-double. The matchup followed a trade that sent Anfernee Simons to Chicago and brought Vučević to Boston. Simons struggled offensively in the loss while Vučević excelled. Current Celtics players, coaches and Simons exchanged public praise, with Celtics staff crediting Simons' high care factor and game impact. Simons said he could see a future return to Boston. Simons is on an expiring deal and will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, making a return plausible.
