The Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves and San Antonio Spurs have shown "varying degrees of interest" in trading for Ben Simmons of the Philadelphia 76ers.

Simmons is widely known to be available. To this point Philadelphia has sought a return that includes multiple first round picks, pick-swaps and players. The 76ers have reportedly offered Simmons to several teams for such packages in return, without any takers.

Damian Lillard's eventual potential availability via trade is one reason the Sixers haven't gotten very far in trade talks. Philadelphia likely views Simmons is their main path towards landing Lillard via trade.
