Ben Simmons will join the LA Clippers after he clears waivers. Simmons worked a buyout agreement with the Brooklyn Nets and will join LA, who has an open roster spot after their trade deadline moves.
Simmons joins a Clippers team that is deep in talent, but could use more size. Expect the versatile guard/forward to play multiple roles for LA, as Ty Lue will work Simmons in at a lot of different spots.
The Clippers added Bogdan Bogdanovic, Drew Eubanks, MarJon Beauchamp and Patty Mills in deadline trades. Mills and Simmons have a close relationship, as both are Australians and previously played together on the Nets.
No team in the league has the required cap space to claim Simmons’ contract. That will clear him to join the Clippers on a rest-of-season contract.
