Knicks offering Mitchell Robinson in trades as Isaiah Hartenstein free agency looms
NY Post
Keeping Isaiah Hartenstein may cost the Knicks Mitchell Robinson.
The Knicks have discussed moving Robinson with other teams, according to Yahoo, as they attempt to retain Hartenstein in free agency.
Hartenstein is “generally expected” to return to the Knicks despite what could turn into a bidding war for the veteran big man.
The Knicks had a strong offensive-defensive combination at the 5 with Mitchell, the defender, and Hartenstein, the offensive-oriented player, but it may not make sense to keep both.
Robinson has two years left and roughly $27.3 million — $14.32 million in 2024-25, $12.95 million in 2025-26 — on the four-year, $60 million extension he signed in 2022.
While Robinson is a top-notch defender, he has struggled to stay healthy.
The first day of the rest of Daniel Jones’ dwindling time with the Giants arrived Wednesday, with Jones in the building, in the meetings, on the practice field (although not doing very much) and not at all part of the game plan for the next game, relegated to a non-participant role for the remainder of the season.
