The Brooklyn Nets and Ben Simmons are on the verge of seeing their three-year pairing come to an end.
Nets & Ben Simmons finalizing a buyout
On Friday, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the Nets are finalizing a buyout agreement with Simmons. He previously revealed that teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Clippers are interested in his services.
Simmons regressed from his standout days with the Philadelphia 76ers. Between 2016 and 2022, the LSU product won the 2018 Rookie of the Year award, earned one All-NBA Third Team and two All-Defensive First Team nods, led the league in steals in 2020, and was named to three All-Star teams.
