Celtics acquire Nikola Vučević in trade with Bulls for Anfernee Simons

Fantastic job by Brad Stevens holding the line and not parting with a first round pick. Expect Stevens to make another move now to replace Simons with a less expensive option, but the team with this move now has a realitic shot at contending for a title this spring assuming Jayson Tatum returns (and even a good chance at a deep playoff run without him).

The Celtics also will save $6 million in the deal which will give Stevens more flexibilty to work with in the next two days.
