Apparently we have the draft rights to some European Center named Mathias Lessort who is nice in euro league. Just another stone they can look under for the depth they need

Lowkey spitballing but would a Mitch/Sims/Wiseman center rotation be so bad? Mitch is a legit starter. We just got to get the other two up to speed so they can hold the fort down when he is not playing.
Upon reflection...
I am really hurting because of that IHart loss. I'm not MAD at the FO, we were limited in what we could do. I'm not mad at IHart, either.
I'm just worried. If I knew Mitch would be healthy, I'd be cool. Pick up a center who can give us a good 15-20 mins a night bringing in rebounds and I'm very confident in this team.
BUT...I HATE relying and basing my optimism on players with a track record of injuries.(The ONLY exception is OG Anunoby.) I think we'd be doing further damage to the team if we were to try a Randle packaged trade for a high quality center even if we'd be able to slot in OG at the 4. I can't cosign that.
I don't think we need to strike gold like we did with IHART's signing. We need to strike silver. That's it. Just be able to have enough centers with AT LEAST average IQ and hands BUT HIGH LEVEL rebounding. Also, HUSTLE has to be in the big man's DNA so fukk a Deandre Ayton.
Not saying it's easy, it won't be but I still have faith in this team.

Thing with losing IHart is also that he was a huge part of our late-season and Playoffs run, so it feels like we're losing some of the soul of that team.
But yeah more that stats we need someone with good hands that will hustle hard on the boards and dive on those 50/50 balls.

Jonas Valanciunas just signed a three-year deal with Washington for 10 million per season. They'll be tanking by January, and we should swoop in to take him off their hands. Re-sign Precious for now, and go get JV when the time comes.

Mason Plumlee sounds like he fits the bill to what you described.....unfortunately he just got signed by the Suns
So.........
Wondering what a trade for Clint Capela would look like
NOW...I'll ask again...Ayo, say Wiseman's name again in this thread
WHAT does a Knicks Championship Contender look like?
Good call. He's still repped by CAA too.

Plumlee would've been nice indeed. Not a fan of Capella tbh

Knicks should be scumbags and just offer him more. We done it before. Give Plumlee the 2/10 deal. The paperwork isn’t officially signed right.

Honestly…. Considering this was a Center heavy draft. Somebody who could be a decent backup big is going to get dropped. a few teams got like 4-5 centers on the roster and just drafted another couple.
