Anfernee Simons is preparing to enter unrestricted free agency for the first time in his NBA career after splitting last season between the Celtics and Bulls.

Both Boston and Chicago are reportedly interested in bringing the veteran guard back.

The Celtics could use their $15 million Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception to pursue Simons, while the Bulls hold his full Bird rights, giving them additional flexibility in contract negotiations.

The Warriors have also emerged as a potential destination.

Golden State is expected to have access to the full $15 million Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception and is reportedly considering Simons as an addition to its backcourt rotation for next season.
