Ben Simmons??

While he did have surgery and is on schedule to be ready for training camp, according to a source, one league source said there was no chatter about the Nets actively shopping Ben Simmons, while two said there was little market for him.

This would be the key. I only see the Mavs interested if it a low price. If there isn't much of a market, then the price should be low -- although that could also just lead to them keeping him, which depending on how that goes, will either drive his market value up...or further down.

I'm not as concerned about the 'head case' aspect. Don't disagree he was, but think he wants to play someplace he feels wants him.
