On September 10th, Beijing time, with about 40 days until the start of the new NBA regular season, reports indicate Simmons has rejected a minimum salary offer from the Knicks and is likely to retire. Earlier today, Simmons changed his social media profile picture to a fishing photo.
Simmons became a free agent this summer and has yet to sign with any team. According to the latest reports, Simmons has rejected the Knicks' offer. The Knicks reportedly offered Simmons a one-year contract, but Simmons declined. With training camp approaching, the Knicks can only offer a minimum salary. After playing for the Nets and Clippers last season, Simmons hopes for a contract above the minimum this summer. The Knicks' veteran minimum contract appears to be Simmons' only chance to continue playing in the NBA.
According to previous reports, Simmons' agent, Bernie Lee, has officially notified the National Basketball Players Association that he and Simmons have officially parted ways. According to New York Post reporter Stefan Bondy, sources revealed that Bernie Lee made the decision to part ways with the Knicks after Simmons expressed his disinterest in any offers during a conversation between Lee and the Knicks' front office.
Earlier today, Simmons updated his social media profile picture to a picture of himself fishing, seemingly hinting that he's seriously considering retirement.
Since entering the NBA as the No. 1 pick in 2016, Simmons has been selected to the All-Star team three times, the All-NBA Third Team once, and the All-Defensive First Team twice. However, in recent seasons, Simmons's form has declined significantly due to his lack of consistency. Do you think he's finally retiring?
