There was once upon a time when Ben Simmons was one of the brightest young stars in the NBA, and when the Golden State Warriors may have considered giving up legitimate assets to trade for the former No. 1 overall pick.
Now Simmons' NBA career is on the brink of being over. However you want to slice that, it would be a heartbreaking end to someone who promised so much. Still, there might be little sympathy for Simmons who's now looking for his third agent in the past year and who reportedly turned down a minimum contract offer from the New York Knicks according to Marc Stein on Monday.
