Ben Simmons is reportedly still on the New York Knicks’ radar, which can mean only one thing: It is time for Josh Hart to kneel before the altar of whatever higher power he worships, and pray that the once-upon-a-time star signs anywhere else.
According to SNY’s Ian Begley, “as of earlier this week, New York continued to show strong interest in signing Simmons,” and teams in the running are basically waiting for him to make a decision. It remains to be seen whether money will factor into this equation. Guerschon Yabusele did the Knicks a massive favor by taking less than the mini mid-level exception, but that still only leaves them with a veteran’s minimum salary to offer.
