Celtics' Nikola Vucevic trade is already aging well for unexpected reason

It's been about 24 hours since the Boston Celtics acquired Nikola Vucevic from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Anfernee Simons. The trade has not yet been made official, but when it does, the Celtics likely won't have too difficult a time finding a guard to replace Simons' role as a second-unit guard.

Now, Simons was a highly productive scoring option off the bench, so the volume will be hard to replicate, but there seems to be a trend emerging around the league right now — guards are up for grabs. Just today, Chris Paul, Mike Conley, and Lonzo Ball all sound like they will be bought out, while others like Ayo Dosumnu likely remain available for buy-low trades.
