Ben Simmons Not for Knicks, Says Insider | New York Knicks News

Ben Simmons’ rumored return to the NBA might not land in New York, according to James L. Edwards III of The Athletic. While Simmons deserves another shot, Edwards argues he’s a poor fit for the Knicks — especially after their championship run. Simmons’ struggles with his jumper, particularly from the free-throw line, would cripple New York’s offense, forcing teams to pack the paint and stifle flow. Plus, the pressure cooker of NYC and the media frenzy surrounding Simmons would be too much for a team already under the microscope. Edwards believes a rebuilding squad — where Simmons can find rhythm without championship expectations — is a better match. So while Simmons seeks a new home, the smart bet is he won’t end up in the Big Apple. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
