Ben Simmons to Celtics Deemed Unlikely for One Reason originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In recent weeks, there have been multiple reports tying Ben Simmons to the Boston Celtics.

The thinking is that Simmons has never been part of a winning culture and thus has little to offer the development of such players besides soaking up a portion of the minutes in a best-case scenario.

While the New York Knicks were among the several teams to express interest in acquiring Ben Simmons in free agency, an anonymous GM suggested that the Knicks may be at the bottom of Simmons' preferred list of destinations.
