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.

The NBA buyout market is going to be full of valuable veteran additions who could take a Playoff team over the top.

Likewise, if he agrees to a buyout with the Nets this winter, something that is reportedly in the works according to Shams Charania, he'll immediately have multiple suitors. In fact, the Los Angeles Clippers and Cleveland Cavaliers are already circling, per Charania.
