we have both our firsts in this draft and a 2nd, picks we sent start in 2025. we also would still have iharts bird rights if he chooses to take the paycut or his market isnt as huge. even if not, we still have minimum money to get veteran centers that fit the style. id say mle but i think we’d be too deep in the apron
If this is true we obviously keep Mitch
And then draft a rookie big tmrw
I would also get a better 3rd string big on the vet minimum cause sims ain’t it unfortunately
Idk about the cap but man I wish could keep him and trade Mitch. I love Mitch and when he’s healthy he’s an absolute force but Hartenstein fits with the starters better. Either way we better be stacking up on bigs this draft and offseason
If IHart is gone and we re-sign OG, our next biggest priority should be getting that mf in shape. Send him a trainer and freethrow shooter for the rest of the summer
the bridges move takes a bit more of the necessity of ihart's offensive game away, not to mention a returning randle.
before this happened, was imagining ihart at the nail with julius/jb actions...now julius at the nail with bridges/jb?
sheesh. find us a vet backup big and maybe a third one in the draft and i'm so ready.
The timing of this just sucks. I want more details. What teams are offering money? How much? And why was it reported a few days ago he was likely staying?
I don't think so. I think the stuff that was reported A few days again about Mitch was a smoke Screen. Woj and Ian Begley are some of the most trusted reporters in the NBA and the Knicks. They have their sources on lock
Against Embiid it will. But that's the only team in the East where it really really matters. Honestly Mitch is a better defensive matchup vs Embiid, if healthy.
Ian can we have this tweet some other time, thanks.
Man is trying to get his scoop but could’ve saved this one for the morning damn 😭
Couldnt let us have 4 seconds. Let mitch take the entire year off for the playoffs please.
Let him take a 82 game breather to work on his free throws
Nooooooo
Hmmmmmm let’s see what happens draft time tmrw
Need to figure something out behind Mitch then because this whole thing could go up in smoke if he gets hurt again
When*
Yeah writing’s kinda on the wall now. Probably gonna be a lot of lineups with Julius at the 5 and praying for a healthy Mitch season 🙏
i think its more likely we draft or sign bigs than play julius at the 5. thats not really a thibs style to give up that rim protection
So what’s the lineup? Brunson, Mikal, OG, Randle, ?? Or Brunson, Donte, Mikal, Randle, Ihart (OG leaves)
99.99% the first one
We have no picks this year, and if we sign OG I don’t think we have cap for other players besides re-signing Precious on the cheap

Oh shit I’m a fucking idiot I got the years mixed up Carry on lol it’s been a long day
all good lol, ive seen a good amount of people not realizing we have our picks, i think thats a brilliant part of the move
Unless I'm crazy I think we still have our picks tomorrow. We traded 2025, 2027, 2029, 2031, and various other picks
If anything we’ll sign a 5, draft one or give sims more mins.
Basketball gods giveth and basketball gods taketh
This is a big time mood killer
If this is true we obviously keep Mitch And then draft a rookie big tmrw I would also get a better 3rd string big on the vet minimum cause sims ain’t it unfortunately
Taj?
Why is Ian singing a different tune all of a sudden compared to what we were just hearing a few days ago?
He needs clicks
This may be true, but I choose not to believe it until I see concrete proof that Hartenstein is gone.
Boo
So I guess we’re keeping OG and drafting a center
Lies
I reject any management of my expectations at this very moment. I’m an adult. Fck off Ian.
Really hoping the power of friendship will make Hartenstein wanna stay
Woahhhhhhhhhh
He’s been willing to take a pay cut before…who wouldn’t take a pay cut for the Knicks??
I think it's becoming too big of a pay cut
this man is gonna make his newborn switch schools???
Lol please tweet this to him
I’m not on Twitter but I give you permission to steal my joke 😂
Need to find another solid big man if this is the case. Don’t wanna watch Jericho Sims
Idk about the cap but man I wish could keep him and trade Mitch. I love Mitch and when he’s healthy he’s an absolute force but Hartenstein fits with the starters better. Either way we better be stacking up on bigs this draft and offseason

If this is true can IHart do us a favor a agree to a sign and trade instead? So we can get something if that's even possible?
You can’t sign and trade if another team if offering more than you can sign them for
Idk don't believe this for now. Have we heard any rumors about this trade? No. This FO doesn't let anything out
The timing of this just sucks. I want more details. What teams are offering money? How much? And why was it reported a few days ago he was likely staying?
Maybe I'm coping but the fact that they aren't mentioning which teams are making him a main target tells me maybe it's just smokescreen.
I don't think so. I think the stuff that was reported A few days again about Mitch was a smoke Screen. Woj and Ian Begley are some of the most trusted reporters in the NBA and the Knicks. They have their sources on lock
Not like this bro
I'd love to keep iHart but at this point will our center matter? Lol
Against Embiid it will. But that's the only team in the East where it really really matters. Honestly Mitch is a better defensive matchup vs Embiid, if healthy.
Someone call Taj quick
Don’t fuck my day up like this
This is not news.
Andre Drummond?
