Simmons Heads to Sacramento | Miami Heat News

Ben Simmons, once a three-time All-Star, is reportedly signing a one-year, $3.5M deal with the Sacramento Kings after going nearly two years without playing a game — his decline accelerating since that playoff series against Atlanta. Though whispers linked him to the Miami Heat — who’ve stacked their roster with Giannis and Klay — the move wouldn’t have fit their championship push or high expectations. With 31 nationally televised games looming, Simmons’ underperformance would’ve been magnified in Miami. Instead, Sacramento offers him consistent minutes without the spotlight. Meanwhile, the Heat are eyeing Victor Oladipo as a more reliable fit for their current roster. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
