Simmons was phenomenal during the postseason run for the Spurs. He was arguably the most important piece that needed to be brought back for next season. Simmons being renounced could open the door for a new free agent to be brought in, or for more money to be given to a returning player.
San Antonio is still negotiating with Simmons now that he is an unrestricted free agent, so a return isn’t impossible. But it’s unlikely now that other teams can throw big money at him.
San Antonio is still negotiating with Jonathan Simmons as an UFA, league sources tell ESPN.
