Where will Simmons go? The famous reporter revealed that two next companies have emerged, and salary space has become the key bargaining chip

On July 21, the NBA free agent market has stirred again! Famous reporter Jake Fischer revealed in the latest live show that the Sacramento Kings and the New York Knicks are becoming the most likely destination for free agent Ben Simmons.

Fischer deeply analyzed the Kings' reinforcement direction during the live broadcast: "The Kings have always hoped to introduce another experienced defender to strengthen the depth of the lineup, and Simmons is indeed on their list of considerations. In addition to him, Westbrook and Brogdon are also among the potential targets." He added in particular, "I personally think that if Simmons can join the Kings, it would be a very interesting addition, and he can bring different game elements."

The Kings currently have 12 full guarantee contracts on the roster, and they also have non-guarantee contracts from Keane Ellis ($2.3 million) and Terrence Davis ($2.5 million). This means that the Kings have some flexibility in adjusting their lineup and introducing new players. The key point is that the Kings currently have about $9.9 million in operational space from the league's first rich line, which provides them with realistic possibilities for signing a mature defender like Simmons.

Fischer shared a personal opinion on the show: "Actually, I think Simmons might be quite suitable if he goes to the Minnesota Timberwolves." But he immediately clarified, "However, I haven't heard that the Timberwolves have shown clear interest in him yet."

Ben Simmons, who is about to turn 29, has experienced ups and downs this season. Before being cut by the Brooklyn Nets in early February, he was still the team's main rotation, representing the Nets in 33 games, averaging 6.2 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game. However, after joining the Los Angeles Clippers, his role and playing time have been greatly reduced, representing the Clippers only 18 games, with a per-game data dropping to 2.9 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists.

As the free market advances, how will this former All-Star player choose the next stop? Can the king take advantage of the salary space advantage to bring it under his command? Will the Knicks continue to increase their leverage at the back? Can Simmons regain value in a suitable system? This series of suspense deserves the continued attention of fans.
