The Los Angeles Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Houston Rockets are reportedly interested in signing Simmons after he was bought out by Brooklyn. Simmons needs a smaller role these days as his body has started to break down after chronic back injuries, but he’s been effective enough in limited minutes that playoff teams want him on board.

After reaching a contract buyout agreement with the Brooklyn Nets, Ben Simmons will reportedly meet with three potential suitors Friday.

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.
