Sunday, February 7, 2010
The Record
[h5]Simmons’ future [/h5]
BobbySimmons, away from the team because of a family emergency, is expectedback for Tuesday’s game in Cleveland. But the veteran forward may notbe a Net all season.
Simmons is glued to the Nets’ bench. He has been inactive 13 times this season and hasn’t played since Jan. 5.
TheNets want to see if they can move Simmons — who’s on an expiringcontract that pays him $11.2 million this season — before the Feb. 18trade deadline. If they can’t, Simmons could be released at some pointafter that so he can join another team.
"[Netspresident] Rod [Thorn] is compassionate to Bobby’s situation," Simmons’agent Mark Bartelstein said. "He feels bad. He feels very strongly thathe can help a lot of teams and we’re trying to work together to getsomething done."
Tony Battie is another prime candidate to be waived if not traded by the 18th.

Starter-turned-subChris Douglas-Roberts, who left the game in the second quarter withback spasms, is another player who may not be here much longer.
TheNets continue to have discussions about the talented swingman, whosefrustration with losing often is mistaken for discontent with hispersonal situation. Memphis, where Douglas-Roberts played collegiately,is one of the teams that inquired about him.
