Let’s go get one of those South Sudan centers

[ceasarjohnson]

Wendell Carter Jr. I like his versatility and he can guard multiple positions plus keep defense honest enough. Him and Robinson would be a great tandem to give opponents different looks at the 5.

[ieatpiranhas]

I would add Nick Richards/Hornets to that list...he's 26 years old, 7 feet, 245 lbs, and averaged 9.7 pts and 8 boards per game on 26 mpg. The best part is he's on the books for only $5 mil a year for the next 2 years.

[PatriotsAndTruth]

I think valanciunas is a great fit. The bench can use some scoring versatility and if Robinson goes down, Jonas is 100% starter worthy.

[Js-gwil]

The best thing about waiting til the trade deadline is we know what injuries we have more than halfway through the season. The best available player for our team has a different answer if Mitch is healthy vs. if Mitch is not healthy, and waiting til the deadline makes it much more likely we know the answer to that. Vs. making an educated guess for what player we most need before the season starts via free agency

[Bill-uirx]

Robert Williams is only 6’8!?! I really tbkight he was like 6’10 -6’11

[aureliojimenez]

Jv seems like the best choice financially and with 3 centers and can start if needed yeah JV gud choice .

[jasonacosta]

Man we can get Omer Yurtseven and dont have to trade nobodey just sign him for that mid level or veteran minimum the guys 7 foot can shoot and rebound and I bet thib the center guru can fix his defensive mishaps

[alexsullivan]

I hope Window carter Jr Ends up in a New York uniform that would be a very good luck.

[brienmacgearailt]

go with youth, athletic plus spreads the floor.

[KidLightning]

JV would be perfect for us. He is a winning player. IF healthy he is better than Hartenstein, imo. I want him on the Knicks really badly!

[RedSteele]

I would pick Wendell Carter. His ability to shoot 3 point shots could spread the floor and make it easier for his teammates to drive to the basket without facing double teams. Also those players defending him couldn't rest. If Wendell Carter can defend & give assists, then I would say that the Knicks would be strong at all 5 positions. And since he's only 25, he can still get even better.

[jjmunz]

I personally would trade for Wendell Carter Jr for sure. 2ed on the list would be Nic. V from Chicago. 3rd would be Jonas.

[The_Word_Is_The_Way]

The Knicks need depth at center. If Robinson misses time, Precious is good for some minutes, but then who backs him? The front office and Thibs haven't really shown much faith in Sims.

[michaelschneider]

Zubac is the only true center mentioned. He would be a better fit with Mitchell due to his ability to stay health and consistence year in and out not to mention his 64.2% FG average over last 4 years.

[Bill-uirx]

Jonas and goga can’t be traded for until Dec, Wendell and Zubac is prolly my Answer if we cud get jonas rn I wud deff sign up for that . Precious makes 6mill so all these players wud work with $ if u add in that mid level

[gmylord]

The knicks should take a look at Bruno Caboclo. He could be a valuable asset coming off the bench. He is a rim protector, rebounds the ball well, shoots the ball well from 3, and with his wide 6'9" frame he could defend the 5 and slip into the 4 as part of a big lineup. The Knicks should be able to get him on a bargain.

[thatguy]

Ivica Zubac would be the most Hartenstein-like, with his inside scoring and passing skills. Wendell Carter is the best option here overall in my opinion.

[carlosdelgado]

Again RB3 lacks availability hard pass
You have to consider this why cause of Thibs and Mitchell
