Ben Simmons is officially a Sacramento King, signing with the team Friday, but before that deal went down, he had some serious interest from a handful of other teams, including the reigning champions.
Knicks and Warriors Were Eyeing Him
Sam Amick of The Athletic spilled the beans, reporting the New York Knicks, fresh off their championship win, were “in the mix” for Simmons. Not just them either, the Golden State Warriors also had their eyes on him, according to Amick. Imagine Simmons rocking a Warriors jersey, wild right? That could have changed a lot for those squads.
T-Wolves Also Showed Interest
