I don't think they'll let Robinson go especially knowing no team is giving up a solid 4 or 5 rotation player. I would prefer they keep him for the last 30+ games and more importantly the playoffs. Let's not forget Mitch single handedly shut down the front line of the Cavs and was the only center who played well against J. Embiid. Even an 85-90% Mitch for the playoffs would be better than Hukporti or any decent starting center in the NBA

[puglover]

Dadiet looked good in pre season game. He should get a look at the forward spots .

[DHbaseballfun]

Let’s go Knicks
Excited for season opener tomorrow night

[thomasesmothers]

Start Deuce against Boston tomorrow night hold off on any other trades

[margaretedwards]

Knicks do not need to make anymore moves. Knicks be loyal to Mitchell Robinson let him healed. Come back stronger.

[Antsanc]

I completely agree with all points. Definitely wise to wait out to see what talent we have on our roster. Pre-season is a little premature to make any judgement calls on our personnel but it's a good data point to begin to set goals for each player in question. If Hukporti was doing great in pre-season then let's see how that translates into the regular season when we actually have something on the line. If we put these rookies in hot water, let's see what they give us. I'm hoping Hukporti and Simms give us way more than what we expect at the 5 position and that Mitch can come back strong and healthy. I'd prefer to keep Mitch for his defensive mindset for late game scenarios. His heads up inbounds play against the sixers was huge. Only a defensively minded center would have had the presence of mind to execute the way he did.

I love your enthusiasm my man go Knicks it’s been too long

[NoahBiniam-libr]

The reasons why we are the biggest threat to Boston because of our wing verserality and switchability and also the ability to go on a 5 out offense. We also could score like them. We could play defense so can they we could score they could score. Like the Knicks are the Boston kryptonite after the mikal and kat trade

[goofywill]

I hate to say this but i think the Knicks might screw up this up and trade promising rookies for a washed up star. And most of those talented players that go off to have much success. They have a history of this.

[Bronxguys]

Troy, a Duece/Brunson backcourt is kinda small plus who's going to score off the bench? I like Duece AND Hart off the bench but I agree lets see what we got & maje adjustments. Good show!

[dark]

Not afraid of Boston we rocking them Tuesday!!!

[anthonyjude]

May be a blessing in suprise as we get to see some rooks and new players get some run. Knicks have a lot of players who can play multiple positions and can start or come off the bench so we can hopefully mix and match during the season and playoffs. Hooe we hold onto Mitch and reassess at the deadline.

[Dafer-jq]

We will be fine it's alot of depth at center that we have. Mitch will come back just in time. And it's no need to trade him because no one wants a injury prone center. He will be great back up once he returns.

[Nxitro]

Robinson when healthy is a good backup center. We saw him with great defense against embiid during that series. I also don’t wanna trade away any more valuable Draft picks to actually save and also we are not trading Duece. So yes I think we can just hold off and pray Mitch will be not good but great when he comes back

[NoahBiniam-libr]

Hart is a better fit in the starting lineup than deuce. I love deuce off the bench. We also lose switchability like being able to switch our wings on opposing best players. Also our Bench will take a hit. Deuce is our six man not our 2 man aight. Imagine Mikal and Og on JT and JB brusnkn on jrue hart on Derrick white and then kat on big Al (when kp come back it will be kp ofc)

[p.c.]

Donte will be missed...Bad trade..2 for 1

[vvv]

JB
Deuce
Sims/Mitch
Kat
OG

Kolek/Payne
Payne/Shamet
Ariel/Sims
Jhart/Precious
Bridges/Dadiet

Resolves a lot of problems right away...

This is the way to go.

[JamesB-pw]

We need to get a wing player 6'7 bench player to solidify the rotation

[eshamsmith]

hukaporti is ready to be the fulltime back up at 5. Rose is too savvy to get jerked on any trades for mitch, not attaching shit to a mitch deal but a 2nd rounder

[worsttrainrideever]

Wait and see. Wiz pick makes that Valanciunas move very doable.
