Isaiah Hartenstein meeting with Thunder as Knicks face uphill climb to keep him
NY Post
The Knicks’ competition gave its pitch.
Oklahoma City, a contending team flush with salary-cap space, sat with Isaiah Hartenstein on Sunday in the opening hours of free agency, a source confirmed.
The Thunder traveled to Hartenstein in Eugene, Ore., where the Knicks center was born and still has family.
According to NBA newsbreaker Shams Charania, the purpose of the Thunder’s visit was to “pitch [Hartenstein] aggressively on coming to Oklahoma City.”
There was no word of a decision late Sunday night, with much of the NBA awaiting a commitment from the 2024 class’s top free agent, Paul George.
The Knicks want to keep Hartenstein, but need to subtract salary from their books just to make him a max offer of four years, $72.5 million.
