Ben Simmons and the Brooklyn Nets are currently working on a buyout agreement for his contract, which would ultimately make him a free agent.
Simmons is in the final season of the five-year, $170 million deal he signed with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2019, with his contract set to expire at $40.3 million this season.
If the player reaches a buyout with the Nets, teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Clippers are expected to show interest in his services.
Simmons, who is now represented by Bernie Lee after previously being with Klutch Sports, could bring added depth to either team’s roster depending on where he lands.
This season, the guard has played in 33 games with the Nets, averaging 6.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.9 assists across 25.0 minutes per game.
While his role with the Nets has been inconsistent at times, his playmaking ability and versatility could be valuable for teams looking to bolster their depth, particularly in a reserve or role-player capacity.
