The folks behind the "New England Sports Network" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Hold My Banner" show that has hosts Kasey Hudson and Ountae Campbell taking a closer look at what such a deal might actually look like in practice, and what effects it might have.

According to The Hoops Alerts, Ben Simmons, known for size and versatality is now reportedly expected to sign with the Boston Celtics.

The Boston Celtics should have their answer from one possible intriguing free agent addition in the next week according to one NBA insider. Former Clippers reserve Ben Simmons is expected to decide on his next destination within the next seven days per ESPN’s Brian Windhorst with Boston still looming as a possibility.

Simmons would help plug a couple of gaps within the Celtics rotation. He could ease the loss of Jrue Holiday due to his defensive versatility, and he could help eat some of the playmaking load Jayson Tatum was forced to vacate due to an Achilles tendon injury.
