Mavs Had Interest In Signing Ben Simmons As Small Ball Center

The Dallas Mavericks had interest in signing Ben Simmons from the buyout market, sources told Marc Stein of The Stein Line.

The Mavs, who are only $200,000 underneath the first luxury-tax apron, saw Simmons as a small ball center.

Simmons would go on to sign with the Clippers.

The Mavs are currently without Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford, Dwight Powell, and Dereck Lively II.
