The New York Knicks have made significant moves this offseason in pursuit of improving their roster after a successful run to the Eastern Conference Finals last year. Key changes began with the firing of head coach Tom Thibodeau, leading to the expected hiring of Mike Brown.

In free agency, the Knicks made impactful signings, securing Jordan Clarkson and Guerschon Yabusele to bolster their depth. However, they are also exploring other options, including the former No. 1 pick, Ben Simmons, who has struggled since his trade from the Philadelphia 76ers. Although his playmaking skills could enhance the Knicks’ bench, his desire for a higher contract may push New York to consider alternative strategies for depth improvement.
