Will Celtics Make Deal With Nets?

We're four days away from the league's trade deadline. 

Brooklyn and Boston have been overheard in league circles about possibly working a deal ahead of Feb. 5. 

Michael Porter Jr. (currently not playing following a death in the family) continues to be the top trade target on the Nets' side. ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel and Nets reporter for CP Erik Slater have mentioned Porter as a possible target. Same with other national outlets. But Anfernee Simons gets sacrificed in a possible deal. 

For what it's worth, Porter is more tradeable compared to Cam Thomas. Even with MPJ's massive salary. Thomas has a no-trade clause on his current deal that would need to be approved of any trade. But adding Porter hands Boston a dynamic scorer and can elevate their Eastern Conference chances.
