Goodbye Clippers! Goodbye Harden! Simmons next home is exposed, netizens: bargain price

The Clippers made large-scale lineup adjustments during the offseason to enhance the team's competitiveness in the new season. However, during the process, Simmons did not receive a contract extension. The reason why the Clippers chose not to renew their contract is, on the one hand, the saturation of the team's lineup, and on the other hand, Simmons' attendance rate and performance are difficult to satisfy the management.

Over the past season, Simmons averaged 5 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game. Although the data seems to be pretty average, his injury problems and shooting shortcomings have always been the team's hidden worries. Now, the Clippers have sufficient staffing in the point guard position, such as renewing the contract with Harden and introducing Bills, and signing players such as Lopez and John Collins, further enhancing the team's overall strength. With such a lineup configuration, Simmons' future in the Clippers seems slim, and his departure seems to be a foregone conclusion.

After becoming a free agent, the Knicks showed a strong interest in Simmons. According to Knicks reporter Ian Begley, the Knicks have been in touch with Simmons since the free market started. Sam Quinn also reported it later: When Brunson was resting, Simmons was a very suitable choice as a substitute point guard, especially considering his defensive ability, he was able to contribute to the team in limited playing time. It is worth mentioning that Simmons had previously expressed his desire to obtain a contract that is higher than the basic salary.

Simmons had previously expressed his desire to obtain a contract that was higher than the base salary. For the Knicks, signing Simmons with a contract that is slightly higher than the basic salary is undoubtedly a very cost-effective operation. Simmons' defensive ability and passing vision can support the team on the bench, especially when Brunson needs a break, which can handle the team's organization and defense tasks well. Moreover, Simmons' joining can also increase the depth and flexibility of the team's lineup, providing the team with more tactical choices during the long season.

For Simmons personally, joining the Knicks is also an ideal choice. The Knicks have gradually risen in recent years, and the team has a good team atmosphere and development prospects. Simmons can continue to play to his strengths here, while also having the opportunity to prove his worth in a team that is competitive in the playoffs. Moreover, the trust and support of the Knicks coaches and management will also provide strong guarantees for his career development.

To sum up, Simmons' departure from the Clippers is a foregone conclusion, and the Knicks have become his most likely next home. Simmons' joining will bring substantial improvements to the Knicks, and also provide him with a new development platform. Fans are also looking forward to Simmons' performance in the Knicks, hoping that he can regain his basketball dream here and bring more surprises to the team and fans.
