Now, though, Simmons is an unrestricted free agent with interest from multiple teams. The Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks are among the teams interested in Simmons, per Marc Stein, as teams look to fill out point guard depth going into next season.

There have been rumors suggesting that the New York Knicks are interested in acquiring Ben Simmons, a former star whose career hasn't gone as planned. It's unfortunate that things have unfolded the way they have for Simmons, but it's possible that he could figure things out with a new team.

Last offseason, the Knicks acquired former Phoenix Suns and Nets star Mikal Bridges in a blockbuster deal sending five first-round picks across the bridge to Brooklyn.
