One of the biggest recent stories in Knicks media has been Ben Simmons. Marc Stein first reported that the Knicks offered Simmons a contract, which he turned down, then Ian Begley reported that the Knicks hadn't officially offered him a deal, although they were interested. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. The Knicks have an obvious decision to fill their final roster spot: sign Malcolm Brogdon or Landry Shamet.
Regardless of whether or not the Knicks officially offered Simmons a contract, it seems pretty clear that he doesn't want to play for the Knicks.
