Inside the Knicks’ attempt to keep Isaiah Hartenstein and how they may replace him after Thunder deal
NY Post
The money talked and the Knicks didn’t have enough.
Isaiah Hartenstein agreed to a three-year, $87 million deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday morning, multiple sources said, leaving the Knicks with a hole to fill at center as they navigate the remaining lower tiers of free agency.
The Knicks gave it their best effort to re-sign the starting center, offering their maximum of four years, $72.5 million as soon as the NBA Finals finished.
That offer remained on the table until Hartenstein agreed to the balloon offer from the Thunder, which is front-loaded and not guaranteed in the third year, a source told The Post.
