The 16th top scorer went from 40 million+ to the minimum salary? Nicks: The Knicks have a strong interest in signing Ben Simmons

Recently, SNY Knicks reporter Ian Begley wrote an article about free agent Ben Simmons.

A netizen asked: "Will Ben Simmons be the realistic choice for the last veteran position (Knicks)?"

Ian Begley replied: "Ben Simmons is undoubtedly one of the candidates for the last place in the Knicks. Earlier this week, the Knicks continued to show strong interest in signing Simmons because other teams are waiting for Simmons' decision. He has attracted the interest of several teams in the league. The Knicks are also interested in signing Landry Shamet with the last place."

Simmons' five-year, $177.2 million max contract has expired, and he earned more than $40 million last season. During this offseason, Simmons' market is basically at the base salary level.

Previously, there were reports from US media that Ben Simmons is expected to join the Celtics.
