• Faded three-time All-Star waived, ending Nets career
• ESPN reports Simmons could sign with Cavs or Clippers

Ben Simmons was waived by the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday after the team agreed to a buyout with the last remaining link to a failed era of building around All-Stars.

The No 1 pick in the 2016 draft was not with the Nets for their victory over the Miami Heat on Friday night as the sides worked on completing the deal.
