This is a HUGE problem for the Knicks...

The 76ers continue to have a stellar off season, this time around picking up free agent Gershon Yabusele. The Knicks have had a MID off season and now have to go into the season without a reliable big man rotation 🤦🏽‍♂️. Dariel Concha breaks it all down!

Sixers fan here- this is definitely a good move for us. But the problem is the depth of NY. Hartistein was a major problem for us but now he’s gone. If healthy, I like our depth over NY. NY is still scary but these moves for us (centers and power forwards) propel us higher. Love the competition.

It's over man the sixers ran laps around us this off-season, we gave up a KD/LeBron type of haul for a glorified role player n have no interior depth.. Philly is just better and we all know it..we would have lost to them last year if not for the refs if we're being honest n now they're way better😞were like the third or fourth best in the east and that ain't good enough

[ericwilson]

Have faith in Jericho Simms ..we have a great new big man coach and Jerico working out with Mike Bibby and in best shape of his life and injury Free .. Jericho is gonna be very good for us this season just have confidence and show faith in what we have ..the hell with the Sixer's all about the Knicks

[YankeesFan]

You are 100% correct. The Knicks struck out this offseason because they didn’t even try to get a center after IHart walked.

“A HIGE GAPING HOLE.”
Very well stated.

[JoseRodriguez-drfn]

Totally agree with you, many teams are upgrading their roster, specially with Big guys, and this Knicks are waiting too much, they better hurry up

[goattygoat]

Why would they get the French guy when we already have a 6’ 9 center backup? Why would we double up on the same type of player? We need a backup center but not a less impressive Precious.

[yagottabelieve]

I Agree with your assessment of our need for another quality center.
I’ve been saying all summer. I’d love to see them make a move for Kessler or Duren.


I’m not as down on the idea of Randle Occasionally, getting minutes at the 5, however, it should not be an every game occurrence, but more of a once in a while based off of specific matchups.

[chrisconnors]

he will be problematic for even the best defenders to defend.. but…
we already have enough forwards.. Randle, Bridges, Achuwa, Toppins…
i would rather the knicks staff hold out on getting another good center in the midseason instead. (we good)

[jakespeed]

How do you miss out on someone that you don't want?

[luisdavila]

Why is it a huge problem? He is not Micheal Jordan or Shaq. He is a SF and maybe PF backing Paul George. He is not a center. He did not play center in the Olympics.

[YankeesFan]

Thibs doesn’t care if Rangel gets hurt.

[classix]

Nobody knows what will happen during the playoffs. We might not even play the sixers in the playoffs.

[YankeesFan]

The Knicks drafted a center and have a French Center. Why aren’t either playing this year? Because Thibs doesn’t value the center position.

[Rodxyou]

If the NY Knicks feel that the free agency for Centers is "Weak". Train their three rookie Centers. The Knicks got a Center Coach, he could easily help them to become NBA ready.
It won't hurt! 🤔🧠🏀

[Parentingautisminnyc]

Stop putting injuries on Mitch especially if your a Knicks fan

[CRALKILLA]

Man, I’m not worried about this guy. Just stop it.

[nazgul]

Knicks are nobodies. What have the Knicks done ?

[Rodxyou]

Mitchell Robinson is hopeless, he is hurting the team. He won't be a Knicks next year.
"Guarantee"!
