The New York Knicks have emerged as one of the several teams interested in trading for disgruntled Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons.
Shams Charania of The Athletic broke the latest intel on Simmons on Monday.
The Knicks are struggling to perform to expectations following their first playoff appearance in eight years. Their offseason acquisitions — Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier — have not panned out well. They will be eligible to be traded starting Wednesday along with several players the Knicks re-signed last summer.
The 25-year old Simmons would fit Tom Thibodeau’s defensive style.
