A new Anfernee Simons rumor about the Boston Celtics actually makes sense. Or at least that is the point of view of the hosts of the CLNS Media “How Bout Them Celtics!” podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance on a recent episode of their show. The pair take a closer look at a Simons trade rumor making the rounds in the NBA media at the moment, and one that appears to have more of a plausible basis than some of the rumbles tying Boston to the Philadelphia 76ers or Denver Nuggets, both of whom would struggle to put together a package that makes sense for all parties.

What is the front office plan for Simons in the season ahead? When can we expect him to be dealt, if at all? What sort of a return would Boston’s execs be looking for in a trade they would actually pull the trigger on?

Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about the most recent Simons rumors percolating up in the late summer doldrums.
