Welcome to Part 2 of Episode 411 of the State of the New York Knicks Podcast! In this part, I'm shifting the focus to a name that just won't go away — Ben Simmons.I dive into whether Simmons is still a realistic option for the Knicks, what his current value is, how he could (or couldn't) fit into this roster, and what the front office might be thinking.This is one of those conversations Knicks fans need to be tapped into.If you haven't already, make sure you check out Part 1, where I break down Mike Brown and the assistant coaching search.

In this segment, BT and Sal dive into the New York Knicks' recent decision to sign Mikal Bridges to a four-year, $150 million contract extension. While acknowledging the value of Bridges taking slightly less than the maximum, both hosts express skepticism regarding the hefty price tag given his performance in his first year with the team. They discuss whether new coach Mike Brown can unlock a "heightened version" of Bridges offensively, and the conversation veers into a passionate debate about the potential acquisition of Ben Simmons, with Sal surprisingly advocating for the former Sixer's theoretical fit in a modified role, and BT adamantly against it due to Simmons' perceived lack of commitment and injury history.

The Sixers offseason has had a lot of twists and turns, but this one surely opened some eyes. In a recent radio appearance, a Sixers reporter claimed that Joel Embiid might think the "end is near." Is it possible that this harsh truth could become a reality this upcoming season? In other news, the Ben Simmons sweepstakes are somehow in full effect... and amongst the teams interested are the Celtics and Knicks (LOL). Some Sixers fans want to see Ben Simmons back in Philly, and to that RB says heck no. Today, we discuss it all!ADVERTISE WITH US: https://forms.gle/BHCmXV9XZs41CKPGACHECK OUT THE NEW MERCH: https://phillytakewithrb.com/Playback: https://www.playback.tv/phillytakewithrbPhilly Take Discord: https://discord.gg/vEXh2AqpVenmo: https://venmo.com/phillytakewithrbCashApp: https://cash.app/$phillytakewithrbSubscribe to Philly Take with RB on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ6xo8_BSzZJVYfWEqEt1GwINSTA: https://www.instagram.com/rbphillytake/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/RBPhillyTake

The Knicks finally have their next head coach, Mike Brown. This feels like a lateral move from Thibs. Gio does love the experience he brings. There were also rumors going around that the Knicks were interested in bringing Ben Simmons in. The press conference is going to be interesting because nobody from the Knicks addressed why they got rid of Thibs, so all of the questions are going to be about that now. Mike Brown is inheriting the best Knicks team a coach was ever handed.

The Knicks are about to hire Mike Brown, the Mets look ugly again in a day game loss, Clay Holmes gets taken out slightly early, and Ben Simmons is on the Knicks radar.

Ben Simmons and the Knicks have interest, but does it make sense for a Finals contender?
