The Boston Celtics' big trade ahead of the 2026 NBA trade deadline sending guard Anfernee Simons to the Chicago Bulls in exchange for center Nikola Vucevic mostly ended up being a wash.
Simons was limited to just six games with the Bulls after the February deal due to injury and Vucevic struggled to produce (and missed time with a fractured finger) as well.
