Famous reporter reveals that King and Knicks cost Simmons potentially popular next home

July 21st According to the latest report by well-known sports reporter Jake Fischer, the Kings and the Knicks have become the team that is most likely to sign free agent Ben Simmons.

Earlier, Jake Fischer said in the latest video show: "We still expect the Kings to bring in another experienced defender, and Ben Simmons is one of their potential targets, in addition to Russell Westbrook and Malcolm Brogdon. I think Simmons will be a very interesting addition."

Fischer also mentioned: "The Knicks have been looking for substitutes for Jaren Brunson. They are still focusing on multiple players, including Simmons, but they are not yet in the substantive negotiation stage."

He also said that the Timberwolves may be suitable for Simmons in style, but he also clarified that the Timberwolves have not shown any actual interest at the moment.

At present, 12 players in the Kings have full guarantee contracts, and there are two non-guarantee contracts, including Keon Ellis (2.3 million) and Terrence Davis (2.5 million). But the Kings currently have about $9.9 million in space to go to the league's first luxury tax line, which also provides flexibility for them to sign a veteran.

Simmons was cut by the Nets in February this year and then signed a short-term contract with the Clippers, but did not get much chance to play in Los Angeles. Last season, he went between the Nets and the Clippers and transformed into a rotation player with height advantage, passing vision and defense diversity. He played in 51 games, averaged 6.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game, and served as a substitute for most of the time.

With about two months left before the team's training camps opened, Simmons is still one of the most famous free agents who have not signed yet. Which team will he join in the end? Do you still have the ability to contribute on the field? These issues still need to be further revealed.
