The New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves, Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings, Indiana Pacers and Cleveland Cavaliers are among the teams interested in Simmons, sources said, although it’s unclear how much traction Philadelphia truly has on any move.

ANALYSIS: Charania adds that the Sixers are looking for "an All-Star-caliber player and/or multiple first-round draft picks" in any trade involving Simmons. The star point guard has still not suited up for the team yet this season. All of the above teams mentioned are in various spots on the playoff bubble, and Simmons' addition could pay dividends for a franchise looking to assert their place as contenders.
