Look I love Mitch. Seriously love the guy. Super impactful. But he cannot be your starting center. His body will not hold up. The Knicks had him in bubble wrap all year.

Not to mention there are certain game situations where he is unplayable (hack a Mitch).

He has to be your secondary center.

Raptors and players that can’t shoot. Name a more iconic duo.

Bulls and Lakers seem to be thrown into like 95% of free agent discussions lol

Mitch needs to be a backup, he breaks down if he plays too much. He’s perfect on restricted minutes and has a huge impact that way. It’s the only way the Knicks have kept him healthy for the playoffs offs.

Oh man, winning right on our fingertips and a good chunk of our roster might be gone. Mitch has been here for 10 years now, what a sad day it’ll be.

They’ll have to pry mitch from my cold dead hands.

Knicks have indicated they’ll go well,over the second apron to sign Mitch and Shamet.

Dude no, he’s not going anywhere except into the motherfucking apron with us

He’d be good in Charlotte.

If they’re fully healthy and can add some size like Robinson, they’re pretty clearly a 50 win team.

Damn let him have his special night with his hero trump on Monday before we throw out these distractions from the media

I wouldn’t be surprised if he just fucks off to New Orleans, especially if he gets his ring this year

Just to be clear. Mitch isn’t the heir to hartenstein. He was the reason hartenstein was on the bench. If we had kat, mitch and hartenstein on the roster now. Hartenstein is 3rd on the depth chart

Mitch is a Knick.

Correction: Hartenstein was Mitch’s backup.

Knicks have been managing Mitch’s minutes very very cautiously this year.  

I love Mitch but a team can’t have him as a starting center playing heavy minutes. he’s like a set of fine china, not for everyday use but rather for special occasions to use sparingly. If you overuse it you’ll break it and that’s bad for all involved.

I hope the Lakers, or Bulls succeed with that goal, because that would get them away from trying to sign Kessler

Hartenstein was actually behind Mitch in the depth chart, Mitch was just hurt that year.

It hurts me, but this makes sense. He would kind of fit well on the Lakers, but I don’t know if Mitch could handle LA. He struggles a bit with off the court, social media attention.

Unless the team wishing to acquire Mitchell Robinson have a great medical staff behind them, Mitchell Robinson’s body is not going to hold up against the wear and tear of the regular season. And if the team want Mitchell Robinson available for the post-season, you need to manage his minutes throughout the regular season and don’t play him back to back games. Offensively, his game is pretty limited. Defensively, his defense and offensive rebounding is great. Can’t have him as starting center due to his health. Great as a back-up center and quite impactful in his limited minutes if you ignore the potential Hack-A-Mitch. If the choice is between retaining either Robinson or Shamet, would definitely prefer the Knicks prioritize Shamet.

Damn why are the raptors getting involved with this?

Yeah bc we need another injury prone big man who can’t shoot

If there’s already a ring, Mitchell Robinson will be gone if a team offers him 9 digit money

Pass

Bobby, please do not do this.

Two fragile aging centers on big contracts is not the way.

Lakers are gonna sign him and run him into the ground by game 20

Trumper who can’t shoot on the Bulls? No fucking thanks.

i’ve been praying for a dominant offensive rebounder since Tyson Chandler

This could have been us.

anyone know how he broke his hand?

Yeah, I doubt he comes to Canada. Don’t really think we need to give him a big contract when we’re already stuck with Poetl, but I highly doubt he’d be interested in leaving the States anyway

You can’t make me imagine this team without Mitch. I’ll do illegal things to help keep him.

This is why we need to get this done now. It’s impossible to keep everyone together

Good luck lol

I wonder how him being an idiot magatard affects team chemistry lol. I guess it can’t be that bad seeing as hes about to win a chip

Is this really insider information?

Seems like he’s just throwing s4it at the wall to see if it will stick

Why us?

Only player I’d let Mitch leave for is Giannis

Ask me again after the series

Why leave a championship team? Unless you Barnes

He’s also expected to draw significant free throws from the Spurs as well

While it makes no sense to pay Mitch starter money under any other circumstances, second apron is all or nothing. If we’re going over, we might as well sign him for 2 years until we’re out of it and keep the championship team rolling

Hartenstein’s heir to the backup center spot in Gotham is expected to draw significant free agent interest this summer, league sources say.

That’s mind of a funny way to put it since Hartenstein and Robinson basically split minutes (and Hartenstein was actually the starter that last postseason).

Hey if he gets a CHIP and decides to move on Knick FANS will continue to love Mitch BUT thats an afterthought right now ONLY the CHIP matters

Lakers will give him the mosgov deal

Love that for the Lakers lmao

ihart was Mitchell Robinson’s backup

If you know Mitch at all he’s very content being a backup and having less pressure on him in his limited minutes while making his money.

We already lost our big last season, dont let it happen again

“I can fix him.”

Not with that FT%

I wonder what contract Mitch will get? He’s really a backup because his minutes & games need to be managed. We managed him perfectly this year.

Please no

If he get get the bag I’m happy for him, after he wins a chip with the knicks he can never do wrong in ny

Cavs can’t wait to see him in a different uniform

it’s the finals. why are we talking about free agency

Raptors do not need another player that can’t shoot and another injury prone center at that

He’s made of glass,was babied to sixty games to be healthy for the playoffs and still managed to injure himself away from the game. If he even sniffs 20m per, I want nothing to do with him. Jonathan Isaac 2.0, which is a disaster.

don’t you fucking dare

The draft relegation rules should actually encourage teams to accumulate picks for unwanted contracts because those picks will now have higher odds of landing in the top 3. Think about the teams that give up a pick but end up landing in the play-in.

Kat and harts contracts come off the books after two more seasons. They are already almost to the apron with like 6 or 7 empty roster spots. You can go over the apron twice in a 5 year span without major penalties. Expect them to retain as much as the roster as possible and go way over the apron the next two seasons, then re evaluate in summer of 28
