The Knicks’ pursuit of Ben Simmons fizzled as he signed with the Kings, a move that quietly benefits players like Tyler Kolek and keeps Pacome Dadiet on the roster for now. Had Simmons joined, the Knicks would’ve faced salary crunches—especially since they’re already under the luxury tax apron—and couldn’t afford to sign a true center without cutting someone. Trading Dadiet seemed likely, but his value and the team’s need for depth make him a safer bet for now. Still, Dadiet’s future isn’t sealed—he could still be moved if the Knicks find a cheaper option or package him with picks. For now, though, he’s staying put.
