At 30, he’s seeking a low-cost, high-impact role, fitting perfectly under their salary cap. While not a direct Richards replacement, his versatility, defense, and playmaking could complement Karl-Anthony Towns’ shooting. With Sacramento already showing interest, New York’s edge? A shot at joining the defending champs — something Sacramento can’t offer. Simmons might be the most intriguing option left.
