๐จ Begley DROPS Knicks Roster Update! ๐๐ฟ #shorts
Ian Begley just confirmed it. The Knicks are still seriously considering Ben Simmons at the moment, even after reports said that it was a long shot or Simmons was signing with Boston. Begley says there’s still strong interest inside the building. But here’s where it gets interesting. Not everyone in the organization agrees. Some want Landry Shamid instead. Others are pushing for Malcolm Brogden and Mike Brown. He’s now part of the decision-making, too. So, the Knicks final roster spot might come down to a three-way internal debate. Simmons, Brogden, or Shamid. Who do you trust most? Drop your pick in the comments and follow for more Nick’s updates.

Who out of these 3 options is YOUR pick?! ๐
Get Ben already
Time to get Landry shamet fast!!! ๐จ
Coffey
Ben please
Shamet
I want anyone who will play at least 65+ games
Shamet please
Brogdon
Landry Shamet is the only right answer! Please donโt do something stupid NY! This shouldnโt even be a debate! Why we donโt already have him and our roster is set by now is crazy to me!
I want coffey but seems like thatโs out of the question, so then shamet
Donโt want Simmons here, idc what contract heโs on, even if itโs a vet minimum, heโs terrible and not what we need! Shamet is much better! So stupid! I mean more defense is always good but dude canโt shoot and heโs unreliable with injuries and stuff and his rep is just awful and he canโt handle the pressure of being on the Knicks, Philly scared him off, do we as a fan base really think he will be able to perform over there? I mean fr!
I wouldnโt mind Ben Simmons coming to the Knicks he can play 1-4 spots and can make plays from every spot he fills up stat sheets and plays D why not try him out? ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Brogdan is a great defender, however I love Landry passion and offense he stepped up in the postseason he just needed more opportunities. Ben Simmons if his passion was there yes but I dont trust him sorry.
Brogdon is always injured, Simmons is always injured and drama.
I donโt think we need another 6โ4 guy but Iโd take Shamet because he plays like an undersized wing.
He donโt space the floor but aye im for it
Brogdon
Shamet is the only one out of the 3 who gives off Knicks energy. It would be wise for them to keep him.
Landry
What about bones hyland? trade kolek for a pick and sign shamet on a min or a big
It feels like we can sign Shamet if we want to. I think We're waiting on simmons and then will sign shamet when simmons chooses boston
Idk, kinda feel like itd be far more noteworthy if everyone involved in the Knicks decision making process DID unilaterally support using the final vet min roster contract on Ben Simmons. It makes sense some in the organization are pushing for him to be the final signing, despite his crazy fall from grace and controversial reputation, hes still young af and offers clear plus tools and some upside. But like I said hes incredibly divisive and controversial and also offers clear flaws he seemingly hasn't worked to improve much during his career, so id be shocked if all of them supported him over the other guys far more than id be surprised some of them do.
Keep shamet
Ben is better defensively than the other guys I think Mike brown can put Ben in a position to succeed heโs on a team full of shooters Ben wonโt need to score really you could even start him then have hart off the bench
Westbrook
If those r the 3 choices Shamet for sure. Man was the only one who looked like he actually wanted to play in those last few games of the pacers series. He earned his spot.
iMO Simmons is perfect for that last roster spot he can play all five positions heโll be excellent late game defender great passer and another ball handler. I think with McBride/Brunson/Katt/Bridges/OG/Clarkson/Kolek/ you have plenty of shooters
Simmons only plays 15-20 games a season ๐
Better be Shamet the other two never play they are always in street clothes would be foolish to choose either one of them of Shamet.
Shamet
Shameet has proved already that he has what it takes !!!
Shamet
Brogdon is injury prone, Shamet is just a shooter, and Ben is unmotivated. Iโd personally go shamet but if youโre gunna roll the dice get Ben. There are plenty of willing scorers but the defense he can provide at that height with playmaking could be a game changer. I lean shamet because of reliability
Ben Simmons
LANDRY SHAMET !!
