The NBA offseason has seen fewer dramatic trades, but notable reunions occurred with stars like Damian Lillard and Chris Paul. As summer league wraps up, teams are focused on final minor signings and trades ahead of training camps in October. Among the unsigned players is Ben Simmons, who has drawn interest from several teams, including the Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, and New York Knicks.

Simmons, once a top draft pick and All-Star, has faced significant challenges since the 2021 playoffs. After being traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Brooklyn Nets and later waived, he averaged only 16 minutes per game with the Los Angeles Clippers. However, at just 28, there are teams looking to provide him with a chance to rediscover his potential, particularly as a backup option to high-usage guards like Devin Booker and Jalen Green.
