ANALYSIS: President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas is known as one of the more active front office executives around the NBA, and it sounds like he's looking into one of the most popular names in this offseason's rumor mill. Simmons struggled in the 2021 postseason, but is an All-Defense caliber forward who averaged 14.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game as a 24-year-old.
