Ben Simmons' career hasn't fully panned out the way many were expecting, but the 6'10" guard still presents a very unique opportunity for teams to acquire. After 2.5 seasons with the Brooklyn Nets, it looks like Simmons will be moving to a new team in the immediate future.

Ben Simmons’ time with the Brooklyn Nets appears to be over. The No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft was not with the Nets for their game Friday night against the Miami Heat as the sides work toward a buyout of his contract.

Unfortunately, then, that immediately disqualifies the following teams: Phoenix Suns, Minnesota Timberwolves, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks, and Denver Nuggets. The Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks are also very close to the first apron and could struggle to sign him as well.
