The New York Knicks are actively seeking to bolster their center position following the departure of Isaiah Hartenstein, who signed a lucrative three-year, $87 million deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Insider Ian Begley highlighted potential targets, including veteran centers JaVale McGee and Bismack Biyombo, as the team searches for depth behind injury-prone starter Mitchell Robinson. The Knicks had also explored other options but were unable to secure players like Bruno Fernando and Omer Yurtseven. Robinson's role as the only rotation-caliber big man raises concerns about the team's defensive capabilities, according to analysts. Despite their offseason improvements, the Knicks' center rotation remains a critical area that could impact their competitiveness in the upcoming season. Robinson, who has been with the Knicks since 2018, could become a rare franchise staple if he remains with the team amidst trade rumors.
