2016 NBA No. 1 Ron Ben Simmons became a free agent this offseason and has not confirmed his next player yet. Simmons' five-year, $177.2 million maximum salary contract has expired, and this summer he is basically in the basic salary market.

The author asked Deepseek about several scandals of Simmons and asked it to answer which team is the most suitable for Simmons in the scandal.

The details are as follows:

As the No. 1 pick in 2016, Ben Simmons' situation is now falling from maximum salary to basic salary, but his passing vision and defensive multi-faceted nature still attract the attention of many teams. Based on the latest developments and team needs, the analysis is as follows:

🏀 1. Celtics: The most likely next home, opportunities and risks coexist

Latest developments: Multiple media (such as Hoops Alerts) confirmed that Simmons is expected to join the Celtics, and the two sides are close to signing.

Opportunity analysis:

Core vacancy: Due to Tatum's Achilles tendon rupture, the Celtics need to supplement the forward rotation, Simmons can win the starting playing time (more than 25 minutes), and even assume the role of organizing the forward.

Tactical adaptation: The Celtics system emphasizes defensive rotation and fast attack, and Simmons' support (5.6 assists per game last season) and defense switching capabilities (can cover 1-4 positions) are still valuable.

Reconstruction Value: In the transition season, if Simmons plays data, it is expected to regain market recognition.

Risk: The Celtics' goal is to compete for the championship. If Simmons' attendance rate (only 108 games in the past four years) or the offensive drag system down, it may be abandoned.

🗽 2. Knicks: The best tactical adaptation, but the role is limited

Opportunity analysis:

Clear requirements: The Knicks need to substitute ball handler, organize the offense while Brunson rests, and add the backcourt defensive size (Simmons is 2.08 meters tall).

Champion competitiveness: The Knicks are an Eastern Conference finals team. If Simmons accepts the role of substitute for 10-15 minutes, they can play their strengths in supporting and fast breaking to reduce the impact of their scoring shortcomings.

Salary flexibility: The Knicks can sign a basic salary of less than $3.7 million, which is in line with its salary structure.

Disadvantages: The team already has a complete core lineup (Brunson, Bridges, etc.), Simmons is difficult to get a lot of ball rights, and coach Mike Brown emphasizes discipline, and his professional attitude towards Simmons is a test.

👑 3. Kings: potential dark horse, but the adaptability is doubtful

Opportunity analysis:

Organizational needs: The Kings need to share the pressure of Monk with the second ball point, and Simmons' passing ability can play high-level support with Sabonis.

Reconstruction space: If Simmons recovers in form, he may get a longer playing time than in the championship team.

Disadvantages:

Tactical conflict: Kings' offense relies on space and shooting (the top of the league with three-point shooting), and Simmons' no shooting ability will compress the inside space.

Competitive pressure: Keegan Murray and other young forwards grow rapidly, and Simmons is easily marginalized if they are inefficient.

📊 Three-team comparison and comprehensive suggestions

Celtics are the best choice: Tatum's injury accident provides Simmons with a rare window of opportunity - gaining a lot of time reconstruction value in a strong team with a rigorous system while avoiding being asked to take on the heavy responsibility of scoring.

Knicks' second choice: If Simmons accepts the role player positioning, the Knicks' championship environment can maximize its defensive value, but its professional attitude needs to match the team's discipline.

Kings have the lowest adaptability: Space issues may amplify their shortcomings, and they are not recommended unless other options are lost.

💎 Summary: The Celtics are the best stage for redemption

Simmons needs to put down his No. 1 pick and seize the core vacancy opportunities provided by the Celtics. If you can improve attendance and focus on defense and organization, you are still expected to continue your career. If you fail due to injury or attitude problems, you may face the end of your NBA career.
