Report: Warriors were 'in the mix' for Ben Simmons
The former All-Star has reportedly signed a one-year deal with the Kings.
As the NBA offseason concluded, the Golden State Warriors remained active in their pursuits. Following LeBron James, who eluded the Warriors, the team signed players such as Kristaps Porzingis, De Anthony Melton, Gary Payton II, and Al Horford. However, in the final stages, the Warriors bolstered their roster by signing free agents Brandon Williams and Georges Niang.
Despite this, reports emerged suggesting the Warriors were still interested in free agent Ben Simmons. According to Sam Amick of The Athletic, the Warriors were among the teams vying for his signature. However, Ben Simmons ultimately signed a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Sacramento Kings, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. The New York Knicks were also reportedly in the mix for Simmons, as per Amick.
