Demarcus Cousins, Dwight Howard, Sim Bullar and Kai Sotto are nice options here.
No need to trade assets to fill that gap with Jericho Sims still there.

[User]

Trade Cam, Hartenstien and picks for Mo Bamba and Terrance Ross.

[smoovegittar]

They won't do anything. Thibs will play #55 until the boos rain down; then Sims will finally get some minutes. Mitch's injury is just the start. This team is getting worn out.

[Koopdville]

this front office don't know wut they're doing

[rocketleaguegrindnshine]

Hey y'all remember when the season first started first 5-6 games or so we actually was one of the best benches in the league stats wise. Cuz THEY WERE ALL gettin minutes except that Grimes was out.

[mgtow-balance]

make a monster trade and bring back kristaps

[scottbertrand]

Hartenstein is not the answer to fill in for Robinson.. sims needs starters minutes

[ednelson]

3 weeks takes us to Feb 11. The Knicks complete a road swing in Philadelphia. Thats 11 games. We 3.5 ahead of Chicago for the #10 slot . Can we survive 11 games with Hartenstein starting ? Sims off the bench. And depending om how OBI is feeling, maybe extend his minutes. This becomes a massive decision for the Knicks . Go for it. Or plan for the future ?

[kingartsprojects]

I think the Knicks will loose possibility 9 out of the next 10 games looking at the schedule ahead especially without Mitch. What do you think? Honestly!

[jrheisler]

Serge Ibaka, a taller Taj Gibson. Play Sims!

[TomDelayBeats]

Tibs will sign Taj Gibson or Joakim Noah.

[angelblue]

Sergi imbaka would be a great player 👏 👏 👍 👌🏾

[cameronthemagician]

I don't know how many more years I can take of this team being bad. It sickens me. First its Covid. Now its injuries. Really is getting ridiculous.

[anthonylarocco]

I 100% agree because Jericho Sims can jump out of the gym, he really is a great athlete.

[charlieking]

Hartenstein and Sims are not it .GO KNICKS

[larrycollins]

Injury prone. Should have let him walk. Had young Duren but traded him

[christianmudfoot]

When is anyone going to realize that Thibs is the Knicks biggest problem right now? Obi, Cam, IHART and even Mitchell Robinson are suffering under his reign! He's the reason they are walking dead!

[soultrane]

Add Greg Monroe " the Moose!"

[bigdaddyc]

Knicks need wing depth and Crowder. Trade Cam, Obi and IQ if u can't convince him on an extension. Trade for Caruso, Batum, and Crowder bring em all in

[notpayingyt]

Need to trade Mitchell Robinson regardless. Dude is the worst defensive rebounder of all time.
