For several weeks now, reports have been circulating that the New York Knicks are interested in signing veteran free agent Ben Simmons to bring on more rotational versatility and, more specifically, a new understudy behind Jalen Brunson at the point guard position.
The club seemed so invested, in fact, that at one point they were argued to be the favorite to land the former All-Star's services.
However, as time has passed, it appears the odds that fans will see Simmons donning the white, orange, and blue threads in 2025-26 have dwindled drastically. So much so that SNY's Ian Begley recently revealed on an August 19 edition of The Putback that he "would probably take the field" over betting on the 29-year-old heading to the Big Apple.
