It appears the Brooklyn Nets have done some research—and even checked in—on a potential replacement for current restricted free agent Cam Thomas. In an X post published on Sunday, NetsDaily revealed that the Nets held trade negotiations with Boston Celtics guard Anfernee Simons. Simons was sent to Boston in exchange for Jrue Holiday early in the offseason, and the Celtics have reportedly been looking to reroute the 26-year-old guard in a salary dump deal.
