The Boston Celtics traded guard Anfernee Simons to the Chicago Bulls, receiving center Nikola Vucevic and a second-round pick in return, ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday.

Perhaps more importantly than the Celtics roster gaining another big man is their cap situation. By moving Simons, the organization's tax bill fell by $22.5 million, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks. Brad Stevens, president of basketball operations, effectively acquired a key depth piece for his roster while subtracting from the team's tax bill.

After being traded to the Boston Celtics from the Portland Trail Blazers in June, the Celtics traded the guard and a second-round pick to the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday for veteran center Nikola Vučević and a second-round pick, per ESPN's Shams Charania.

The Celtics reportedly are trading sixth man Anfernee Simons for a veteran big man ahead of the NBA trade deadline.

"As you continue to grow and progress throughout the journey, legacy is something you think about," explained the Cal alum.

The game honored the 75th anniversary of Earl Lloyd, Chuck Cooper and Nat Clifton becoming the NBA's first Black players.
