As reported by Shams Charania of ESPN, the Boston Celtics continue to actively engage in trade discussions, with multiple core players potentially involved as the team evaluates its roster heading into the new season.
This follows the Celtics’ recent move on Monday night, when they traded veteran guard Jrue Holiday to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for scoring guard Anfernee Simons and two future second-round draft picks.
While Holiday’s departure signals a shift in Boston’s roster strategy, attention has also turned to other notable names.
Kristaps Porziņģis and sharpshooter Sam Hauser have frequently surfaced in trade speculation, and there is growing curiosity around whether Boston might entertain offers for All-Star wing Jaylen Brown or defensive standout Derrick White.
Simons, the key piece Boston received in the Holiday trade, is currently under contract but is expected to become an unrestricted free agent in 2026, adding both value and flexibility to the Celtics’ evolving roster plans.
