Ahead of the trade deadline on Feb. 6, executive Sean Marks and the Brooklyn N
ets will be busy. After recently trading veteran guard Dennis Schroder to the
Golden State Warriors, the Nets continue to be the focus of trade rumors with
key talents like Cam Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Bojan Bogdanovic, and Day'R
on Sharpe. The other key name on the Nets' trade block is former first-overall
pick Ben Simmons.
Since a part of the James Harden trade between the Philadelphia 76ers and Broo
klyn in 2022, Simmons has not lived up to the All-Star potential he once had.
Over the last three years, including 23 games during the 2024-25 season, Simmo
ns has averaged 6.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in 80 career games w
ith the Nets. Along with being in the final year of his contract and making $4
0.3 million this season, this is why Simmons finds himself on the trade block.
在2月6日交易截止日之前，篮网队的总管Sean Marks和布鲁克林篮网将会非常忙碌。在最
近将后卫Dennis Schroder交易至金州勇士后，篮网仍是交易传闻的焦点，涉及的关键球
员包括Cam Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith, Bojan Bogdanovic,以及Day'Ron Sharpe。
而另一个篮网交易名单上的重要名字则是前状元Ben Simmons。
自从2022年作为James Harden交易的一部分从费城76人转至篮网后，Simmons未能展现出
他曾经的全明星潜力。在过去的三年里，包括2024-25赛季的23场比赛，Simmons在效力篮
网的80场比赛中，场均仅得6.5分、6.3个篮板和6.2次助攻。再加上他正处于合约的最后
一年，本赛季薪资高达4030万美元，这也是他被列入交易名单的原因之一。
Between all his injury concerns through the years and struggles to remain a th
reat, there has been virtually zero interest around the NBA in Simmons dating
back to the trade deadline during the 2023-24 season. Many teams around the le
ague also can't acquire the 28-year-old's massive contract.
As the trade deadline inches closer, the Nets and Simmons hold “zero interest
” in pursuing a buyout agreement, multiple league sources told ClutchPoints.
This same mindset Brooklyn currently holds also applies to the scenario of Sim
mons remaining on their roster past Feb. 6, which continues to look like a str
ong possibility.
The Nets have positioned themselves to shed heavy salary at the conclusion of
the 2024-25 season, highlighted by Simmons becoming an unrestricted free agent
. Next summer, Brooklyn will be positioned to have the most cap space in the l
eague, opening up many doors to revamp their roster during this rebuild.
多年来，由于Simmons持续的伤病问题以及难以保持竞争力，他自2023-24赛季的交易截止
日以来，在NBA几乎没有引起任何球队的兴趣。此外，许多球队也无法接手这位28岁球员
的巨额合约。
随着交易截止日的临近，据多位联盟消息人士向ClutchPoints透露，篮网与Simmons对于
达成买断协议“完全没有兴趣”。布鲁克林目前持有的这种态度同样适用于Simmons在2月
6日后仍留在阵中的情况，而这种情况越来越可能成为现实。
篮网已经为2024-25赛季结束后的减薪做好了准备，其中一个重点就是Simmons届时将成为
完全自由球员。明年夏天，布鲁克林将处于全联盟薪资空间最多的地位，为他们在重建过
程中彻底改造阵容提供了许多可能性。
Since he is in the final year of his contract and now seeing a larger role wit
h Schroder gone, many league personnel believe that Simmons and his representa
tion would not want to sacrifice a portion of his salary in a potential buyout
agreement. After all, once he becomes a free agent next summer, Simmons won't
see another nine-figure contract.
In four games since Schroder was traded, Simmons has averaged 10.3 points, 8.5
assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.3 steals as the team's starting point guard. Net
s head coach Jordi Fernandez has challenged Simmons and been critical of him t
hroughout the early portion of the season, but he has also supported the forme
r three-time All-Star on countless occasions. Simmons has accepted these chall
enges, and has embraced his increased role since Schroder's departure.
由于Simmons正处于合约的最后一年，加上Schroder离队后他承担了更大的角色，许多联
盟人士认为，Simmons及其经纪团队不会希望在潜在的买断协议中牺牲部分薪资。毕竟，
一旦他在明年夏天成为自由球员，Simmons将不太可能再获得一份九位数的合约。
自Schroder被交易后的四场比赛中，Simmons作为球队的先发控卫，场均得到10.3分、8.5
次助攻、4.3个篮板和1.3次抄截。篮网主教练Jordi Fernandez在赛季初对Simmons提出了
挑战，并对他的表现提出过批评，但也在无数次场合对这位三届全明星表示支持。Simmon
s接受了这些挑战，并在Schroder离队后积极担当更大的责任。
“I think it’s that [the role change] and just time in the gym,” Simmons sai
d recently regarding his mentality shift. of his sudden shift. “Just staying
on it. And then focusing every day. I come in and try to get better every day,
and it’s gonna show… It’s been an adjustment [without Dennis], but obvious
ly, practice sessions help a lot. And then watching film helps a bunch. So the
more we play together and the more we get some rhythm, the easier it will be.
”
The Nets remain open to discussing Simmons in trade conversations at this time
, sources said. Any team looking to instantly free up a massive chunk of cap s
pace next offseason would hold a level of interest in Simmons. On the other ha
nd, Brooklyn has made it clear to rival teams that they don't want to take bac
k significant, long-term salaries in any deal they could potentially make. Whe
n trading Schroder to Golden State, the Nets received De'Anthony Melton, who w
ill be a free agent after this season, and three second-round picks.
“我认为这（角色的改变）以及在训练中的投入是关键，”Simmons最近谈到他心态的转
变时表示。“就是不断坚持下去，并每天专注于提升。我每天都来球馆努力变得更好，这
将会体现出来……Schroder不在后，这是一种调整，但显然训练课帮助很大，再加上观看
比赛影片也有很大的帮助。所以，我们越是一起比赛并找到节奏，一切就会越轻松。”
据消息人士透露，篮网目前仍然愿意在交易谈判中讨论Simmons。任何希望在明年休赛季
立即释放大量薪资空间的球队，对Simmons可能会有一定的兴趣。另一方面，布鲁克林已
向其他球队明确表示，他们不希望在任何潜在交易中接收大量的长期薪资。在将Schroder
交易至金州勇士时，篮网获得了De'Anthony Melton（他本赛季结束后将成为自由球员）
以及三个次轮选秀权。
If there was a trade to be had involving Simmons before the trade deadline, a
few teams would likely be involved for salary purposes. However, it is much mo
re likely that trades involving Johnson, Finney-Smith, or Sharpe occur. In fac
t, Brooklyn has been receiving interest from multiple teams inquiring about Sh
arpe, league sources told ClutchPoints' Nets reporter Erik Slater.
Johnson perhaps holds the greatest trade market out of all the players in Broo
klyn, as several playoff-contending teams have expressed interest in trading f
or the 28-year-old wing. The Nets are not urgently looking to move Johnson lik
e they were with Schroder, leading to the widespread belief that Marks and his
front office will continue to increase their asking price for Johnson before
the trade deadline. He still has two more years left on his contract past the
2024-25 season.
With their rebuild in full force, the Nets will continue to allocate more minu
tes to the youth that exists on their roster. In terms of Simmons, it remains
unlikely that either he or the organization will seek to split before the offs
eason.
如果在交易截止日之前涉及Simmons的交易能够达成，那可能会有几支球队参与，主要是
为了平衡薪资。然而，更有可能发生的交易是关于Johnson, Finney-Smith,或Sharpe的交
易。事实上，据ClutchPoints篮网记者Erik Slater报导，篮网已经收到多支球队对Sharp
e的询价。
在所有布鲁克林球员中，Johnson或许拥有最大的交易市场，因为有多支有望进入季后赛
的球队表达了对这位28岁侧翼球员的兴趣。篮网对于交易Johnson并没有像对待Schroder
时那样急迫，这导致外界普遍认为，Marks和他的管理层在交易截止日前会继续提高对Joh
nson的要价。他在2024-25赛季后仍有两年的合约在身。
随着球队重建进程全面展开，篮网将继续为阵容中的年轻球员分配更多的上场时间。至于
Simmons，目前看来，不论是他本人还是篮网，都不太可能在休赛季之前主动寻求分手。
