Boston tries to get under the tax, and they snag a pick. Maybe they can rehab Huerter’s value and give him a bunch of minutes, then flip him at the deadline for a minor asset. Or maybe he acclimates to the Celtics, finds a role, and survives the rebuild to play on the next real C’s team when Tatum returns.

Bucks can re-sign Simons, who is younger, a better player and a better fit on the Bucks than Kuzma. Their options are limited, and Simons could be really useful just getting buckets. Doesn’t hurt for Simons to have Giannis and Turner behind him on D, either.

Bulls take a flyer on Kuzma. Seems like a Bulls move, right? Hey, maybe Kuzma will prove them right! Right? Maybe?
