Get someone in the Net deal --- I like the idea of D Sharpe or working another non-free agent center into that deal BUT don't let Precious walk when he showed out last year and is young.

Wonder what the asking price would be for Bamba or Wiseman? As a possible backup to Mitch?

Bamba is prolly league min. Dunno if he was healthy or not but he didn’t play a minute vs the Knicks for Philly…

He’s a journeyman with upside at age 26.

Wiseman is more athletic, beefier, and younger - and I think he still has enough
mystery that some team would pay more than min. Both of them have the tools to be poor man’s Mitch Robinsons. :)

Thibs and Kerr are buddies, so if the Knicks pursue him it’ll be in part from that endorsement.

Yeah Precious and Sharpe would be a win at this point.

I think we can survive at center with Precious back, though it’d be a nice luxury to bring in a true 7 footer.

Reading posts like this makes me suffer from a severe case of center-envy.

We will find a way. Who knows maybe it’s someone on weschester roster or some other g league or summer league cast off

We will find someone who does one or two things well and find a way to leverage that

I don't see the front office being blind sided by Hartenstein's decision. They probably began planning for this in January once Hartenstein really started shining in a starters role. The fact that they didn't extend Precious the QO also speaks volumes. I'm kind of reminded by the Kemba situation a few years back where the front office came out of nowhere with a deal for a player we didn't even see on the market.

100% agree this is the best FO we have ever seen in our lifetimes as Knick fans- I don’t care how old you are.

And Thibs might be the best coach we have ever had, with all due respect to Riley and Holzman.

I don't have a path to how this goes but Mitch is our starting center and one has to pray those ankles/feet hold up.
He really was great before getting hurt.
Sims? Our stoner pinup gets another year for a payday. He needs to show up. I don' have great faith in his ability but he did have a long off season after shoulder surgery last summer. They not all the same, if it was his rotator it was a longer road than just the Labrum that Randle has.

Lets be honest, Embiid when healthy is the most dangerous player in the league. Few teams stop him. He ate up ihart!
Im not going to degrade iHart as not important. He was. With Randle coming back it would have been interesting to see how much ball he'd see.

WE basically have little money to spend and to keep the door open for ihart might have cost us.

We gave up Chewy's bird rights when we did not tender him.
We are hamstrung for the moment with Mitch and Sims.
Its possible we can trade for a rookie center with picks?
I'd think rolling with a rookie is not a great idea given where we are and how hard it it.
Be patient. Its just two days in the off season and Clint Capella will get bought out at some point!

Its already been confirmed that we have Achiuwa's Bird Rights even though he was non-tendered.

Good! Thanks for clarity.

I keep mentioning the draft some are forgetting we just added Bridges and that Thibs liked Hart at 4.
We have Simms as back up for MR in case of injury. Believe Randle will be playing a lot of 5 in smaller lineups that give Hart, Bridges, Devo more minutes.

If not, I think Thomas Bryant from Miami may be someone to take a look at.
