Celtics, Knicks, Suns Among Teams Interested in Ben Simmons

Ben Simmons' career has been a rollercoaster since entering the NBA as the top pick in 2016. After early success with the Philadelphia 76ers, his performance dipped, leading to a trade to the Brooklyn Nets and later the Los Angeles Clippers. While his scoring numbers have declined, his playmaking and defensive abilities still hold value for playoff-contending teams.

Several teams are considering signing Simmons as a bench player to bolster their point guard depth. The Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings, and New York Knicks have all expressed interest. For the Suns, Simmons could provide valuable ball-handling and playmaking skills to complement their high-scoring guards, Devin Booker and Jalen Green. Although he wouldn't be a starter, his ability to facilitate the offense and contribute defensively could be an asset.

However, Simmons comes with risks. His injury history and inconsistent play raise concerns about his reliability. Teams must have tempered expectations, understanding that he may not return to his All-Star form. Yet, his potential upside and relatively young age (28) make him an intriguing option for teams willing to take a chance.
