The Ben Simmons part was also bold, in that he said Simmons doesn't want to be there, the Nets don't want him there, and he won't be a Net this year. It was more of a sidebar in what was mostly a 45 minute KD to Suns podcast.
Has it ever been established whether the Mavs could even trade for Simmons?
I know that Luka was gotten via trade but it was a trade before he ever signed an NBA contract. So does that violate the NBA rule about not having two players on designated rookie extension who were acquired via trade?
