A reporter Jay King wrote an article analyzing the recent trading trends of the Celtics.

According to alliance sources, the Celtics are exploring the possibility of trading Anfini Simmons' $27.7 million expiration contract.

Through this move, the team hopes to achieve two team goals that President Stevens emphasized after the first round of the NBA draft on Thursday: to restore more roster flexibility and pave the way for free agents Luke Connett and Al Horford.

At the same time, Nian also has the possibility of being traded.
