NBA free agency has slowed down, but many teams are still interested in making moves, including the New York Knicks. According to Ian Begley, the Knicks still have “strong” interest in acquiring Ben Simmons.

Just a few seasons ago, nobody in the basketball community ever imagined Ben Simmons playing for a third Atlantic Division squad.

Per SNY’s Ian Begley, the Knicks are still in the mix for free agent guard/forward Ben Simmons. According to Begley, New York cannot exceed $207.8 million in total salary, giving them enough space to sign a veteran to a minimum deal, and a rookie free agent.
