Jonathon Simmons, who participated (and impressed) in the Warriors’ recent bubble minicamp, is signing in China with the Liaoning Flying Leopards. Steve Kerr said he believes Simmons still does have “NBA years” ahead of him.

ANALYSIS: The Warriors were somewhat surprised by the news that Simmons was going to sign in China, as Steve Kerr was optimistic that he would make the team next season. Simmons will sign with the Liaoning Flying Leopards who are reportedly offering 'a lot of money' to Jonathon.

Simmons still has the ability to opt out of his contract if he is offered a guaranteed deal with an NBA team, though that seems unlikely.
