The New York Knicks recently made headlines by firing head coach Tom Thibodeau after an impressive run to the Eastern Conference Finals, marking their first appearance in that stage since 2000. In a surprising move, the Knicks replaced him with former Sacramento Kings coach Mike Brown. In free agency, New York focused on bolstering their bench by signing Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele, still leaving one roster spot open. The team has shown strong interest in acquiring Ben Simmons, a player who, despite injury concerns, still possesses valuable skills as a playmaker and defender. His versatility could contribute significantly to the Knicks, particularly off the bench.
