Knicks Tipped to Sign Ben Simmons on Veteran Minimum, Per Bleacher Report

The projection reflects New York's push for bargain bench help under Mike Brown.

Ben Simmons #25 of the Philadelphia 76ers dunks over Russell Westbrook #4 of the Washington Wizards during Game Two of the Eastern Conference first round series at Wells Fargo Center on May 26, 2021 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Wells Fargo Center permanently banned a fan after they threw popcorn on Westbrook after he left the arena due to an injury.
Former NBA Star Ben Simmons Predicted To Sign ‘Minimum Deal’ With New York Knicks

Overview

  • NBA insider Eric Pincus predicts New York will add the former All-Star on a minimum deal, with Sacramento also mentioned as a possibility.
  • No agreement has been announced, and the reporting reflects a projection rather than a confirmed signing.
  • Observers question the fit because Simmons offers little three-point shooting under a coach who prioritizes spacing.
  • Simmons averaged roughly 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.6 assists last season with the Nets and Clippers after a late-year buyout to join Los Angeles.
  • New York recently added Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele to bolster depth and still has three open standard roster spots.
