Taking on a player who can eeek out a few extra wins isn't in their plans IMO.

Maybe, but Sarr and Coulibaly are good young players. The problem is that Simons would just take shots away from McCollum. He's not what they need whether they are tanking or not.
Milwaukee is a team that could use Simons. The Giannis at the point experiment is going to last about a month, if that. The Kings could also use Simons.

I think Simons to the kings makes a bunch of sense for them honestly.
Not sure what the deal would look like but I would assume it has to include Monk.

So instead of trading Simons to solve the tax problem, you're going to trade him for another small guard that's going to be getting 20m next season and 21.5m in 2027-28.
Ugh!

The end result is Simons still a Celtic.
Or the cost of forcing a Simons trade is not worth it.
Really nothing to do with aggregating players.

The Bucks do look like a team that could use Simons. They just need to add a big contract that isn't Kyle Kuzma and that leaves Bobby Portis, who can be dealt in October...

It's just a training camp contract.
30 teams in the NBA. All 30 of them decided against offering Bassey a real NBA contract.
Yet it's Brad who dropped the ball?
Bassey has never even been on the Celtics..he just played in a few summer league games for us and put up decent numbers off the bench, going against summer league bench units.
He was on the Spurs last season. If any GM dropped the ball, it's the Spurs. And it doesn't really make sense to say anyone dropped the ball. I can see, maybe it would make sense to say that if Bassey ends up playing for some other NBA team this season, plays like 60+ games and puts up some awesome numbers. But until that happens, no one dropped the ball.
All 30 teams have decided he's not worth a standard contract. Hawks are simply filling out their training camp roster. They're probably going to cut him at the end of camp..they already have Porzingis and Okongwu who will get most of the mins at the 5..plus they just drafted Asa Newell in the 1st round and have Gueye waiting in the wings as well. And they have Nfaly Dante. They have no need for Bassey..apparently, no NBA does..
