Brian Lewis: Ben Simmons’ agent Bernie Lee on buyout status: “I just saw some of the other reporting. (I) want to be really clear Ben hasn’t met with anyone nor is he. We are having conversations with the Nets and when there is something to be said we will let everyone know.” #nets #nba

Nets reportedly near buyout with Ben Simmons; Clippers, Rockets and Cavaliers interested (it was the $40 million salary that scared teams off more than the lack of a jump shot, which is still an issue).

Ben Simmons bidding war underway soon after reaching buyout with Brooklyn Nets
Given Simmons’ skill set, he is the one player who could help Clippers’ second unit as a point center, especially after trading Terance Mann

Ben Simmons finishes his Nets tenure with 90 games played and zero playoff appearances over three seasons.
A very rough stretch for both parties. – 10:47 AM

Could Ben Simmons be bought out by the Nets and sign with another team for the stretch run? Some are speculating that the answer is yes.
Could that team be the Sixers? Don’t count on it, from what I was told this evening:
