Knicks have been saved from themselves after Simmons’ shocking decision
New Orleans Pelicans v Los Angeles Clippers | Michael Owens/GettyImagesThe Knicks have been linked to Ben Simmons for weeks, and insider Marc Stein now reports that New York officially offered the veteran wing a one-year contract. However, according to the report, Simmons turned down the deal, saving the Knicks from a problem of their own creation.
In the report, Stein states that the Knicks offered the former All-NBA player a one-year deal. The deal would have had to have been for the veteran minimum, considering that is all the Knicks can offer at this point, having already inked deals with Guerschon Yabusele and Jordan Clarkson.
