Nets to explore Ben Simmons trades this summer
What becomes of Simmons and the final two years and nearly $80 million remaining on his contract after this season is of course another dynamic to monitor in Brooklyn. The Nets are widely expected to gauge what trade market could materialize for Simmons after his disappointing campaign comes to a close. The three-time All-Star is still far from the form he exhibited during his best days in Philadelphia.

Ben Simmons has seen his minutes slashed amid a move to the bench since returning from injury.
And with KD and Kyrie out the door, both Simmons and Jacque Vaughn are unsure of where he fits with the new-look Nets moving forward. Full Story: clutchpoints.com/nets-brooklyn-… – 1:50 PM

Jacque Vaughn on Ben Simmons: “You put another big next to Ben, then you’ve gotta figure out what the spacing is around him. Then if you put another playmaker next to Ben, then you’ve gotta figure out what Ben looks like without the basketball.” More: nydailynews.com/sports/basketb… – 10:39 AM

New ESPN story: After Ben Simmons played just 13 minutes off the bench in a loss to the Knicks, Nets coach Jacque Vaughn explained why it will be challenging to get Simmons more involved moving forward.

Ben Simmons played 13 minutes Monday. I asked Jacque Vaughn if his decreasing minutes will continue barring a change in production:
“Overall, what we want from each guy is to give everything, every ounce that they have every game… Trying to figure out what lineup fits around… – 10:45 PM

Ben Simmons played 13 minutes tonight — his second lowest minutes total of the season. Jacque Vaughn just gave a long answer when asked about the challenges of playing Simmons, and said it’s going to be a work in progress to find lineups that make sense for him to fit into. – 10:19 PM

My pregame article centered on the uncertainty of Ben Simmons’ role with comments from both him and Jacque Vaughn on his reduced minutes.
The trend has continued tonight. And Simmons has done little to prove it shouldn’t moving forward.

Ben Simmons started the first 275 games of his NBA career. He’s been moved to the bench in Brooklyn, and w/4 starters arriving in the KD/Kyrie trades, he’s not sure if he’ll start again.

Ben Simmons on his 4th quarter minutes: “It’s a little frustrating trying to find some rhythm and consistency; but that’s what it is at this point right now. Guys have been in and out due to injuries, trades, so there’s been a lot of different things that play factors into it.” – 11:46 AM

Now a #Nets reserve, Ben Simmons looks nothing like a guy who was three-time #NBAAllStar as Sixer.
“I believe he can get back to where he was with us, especially now, I think, because he will have the ball in his hands more,” Doc Rivers said of Simmons.
