Those teams include the Phoenix Suns, Minnesota Timberwolves, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets. League sources indicate that the Cleveland Cavaliers will be at the “front of the line” in Simmons’ buyout sweepstakes should the Nets part ways with the veteran.

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:

Getting out ahead of this: the Sixers are not expected to pursue a reunion with Ben Simmons if the Nets agree to a buyout with the former No. 1 overall pick, a source tells @thephillyvoice. – 3:39 PM

Cam Johnson remains on the Nets through the trade deadline. Any roster moves will now come in the form of buyouts.
Rival teams are monitoring Ben Simmons, with the expectation that he could hit the market, league sources told @ClutchPoints. – 3:13 PM

The Nets trail the Wizards 79-70 with 3:32 left in the third. Washington is shooting 29/57 (51%) from the field and 14/30 (47%) from three.
This is a much different Brooklyn team than the one we saw last night. It’s surprising, considering Ben Simmons and Cam Johnson’s returns. – 9:13 PM
