Like literally hunting out in the wild?

Goga at 8m isn’t really cheap for them.

Could I interest you in a lightly used Poeltl? His value has never been lower!

Nick Richards is a good rim protector?

Drummond might be worth a look. Cheap, rebounds very well, god awful free throw shooter.

Bah gawd that’s Kai Sotto’s music

Lol those aren’t Mitchell Robinson replacements. They’re third stringers. If the Knicks replace Mitch with one of them and call it a day, that would be a disastrous offseason.

I think the names generating actual buzz are guys like Moussa Diabate and Jock Landale, which are much more realistic options unless the front office is looking to commit organizational suicide.

Moussa Diabate: Charlotte has a crowded frontcourt after adding more young bigs, making him a possible trade target. He’s basically Mitch Lite. An elite offensive rebounder and a high motor energy big.

Jock Landale: UFA. A smart backup big who sets solid screens, keeps the offense flowing, can make the extra pass, and has enough shooting to keep defenses honest.

Looney wouldn’t be a bad get. It all depends on how much they spend whether or not someone is a good get when we get to this level.

Oh dear, the Knicks are in trouble if they think Nick Richards can replicate anything Robinson does except maybe half his offensive rebounding.

Richards plays like a 19-year-old rookie trying to emulate Robinson with none of the defensive instincts, which would be fine except he’s 28

Achiuwa pick up the phone

Goga Bitadze (ORL) - can shoot the 3 ball

That’s news to us in Orlando

Since we won the title, we should be allowed to claim one player from the team we defeated (free of charge of course). They have an awfully tall fellow IIRC.

I’m of course referring to Luke Kornet.

Andre Drummond enters the chat.

Shoulda kept Jericho Sims. 10.5 TRB per36

Marvin Bagley is actually a serviceable backup C and might be available for cheap

Lmao AI bot account

Mitch defends the perimeter very well for his size, great rebounder, & great rim protector. He’s so valuable. It’s gonna suck to lose him.

that sounds ominous. why are they hunting them

I don’t see them letting Goga leave if they’re gonna let Wagner and Isaac walk.

Lmfao Goga can shoot the three ball? Wow that’s news to me and every other magic fan who’s watched him the past few years.

Goga “can shoot the 3 ball” Bitadze: a career 22% shooter from three coming off a scorching 18% on 0.2 attempts last season

This is depressing. Just go in the second apron and keep Mitch

Deuce for Missi fits salary wise. The Knicks already dealt with the pels.with Alvarado and were interested at the deadline in Missi.

I think it might be Deuce McBride for Yves Missi.

The Knicks probably won’t be able to retain Deuce at the price he will cost in the future. They’ve already locked up Alvarado and Shamet as well.

I like Goga Bitadze more but Missi is due half the salary next year.

Goga Bitadze or Moussa Cisse can do what Mitch does kinda.

Nick Richards gets numbers but is really bad at basketball and is constantly fooling online NBA fans based off the box score stats. Ask Phoenix and Charlotte fans about him.

Mitch is a very good defender both at the rim, in help, and is deceptively mobile to stay in front of guys sometimes. He is of course a godly rebounder glass crasher.

Knick Richards would go pretty hard

Since when can Goga “shoot the 3 ball”?

He has a career average of 0.7 attempts per game at a 22% rate. Not to mention the last 4 years with Orlando he’s never shot better than 18%. He is quite literally the worst 3P shooter on a terrible 3P shooting team.

Sounds super dangerous, IMO

Jonathan Isaac

Have a free throw shooting contest. Loser is the newest Knick.

I think Looney will be the move, schematically he fits very well and can be bad on the vet minimum. We have a bigger center in Hukporti behind him too. He might be totally cooked athletically though, if that’s the case they can always reassess at the trade deadline

Ware from the Bucks for Deuce, Kolek and 3 2nds

So crazy that a team wins the finals and even their backup center is too expensive

Hate losing Mitch but the reality is they don’t need to find the actual replacement now or even by opening night. They can take a flyer on a vet min guy & see how he and Hukporti look in the first 2 months or so of games. There will be more guys available mid season & they can potentially get off more salary then or in trades for someone else.

Goga cannot shoot the 3 ball. What the hell are you talking about?

Kalkebrenner for the win

Mitchell Robinson is going to be tough to replace. His defense and rebounding is elite level. His offensive rebounding is crazy. In 20 minutes a game last season he averaged 8.8 RPG. 4.6 Defensive, 4.2 Offensive.

McBride for Diabate.

As a Knicks hater, Mitch was the one guy who worried me the most. Just an absolute nightmare on the offensive glass,

I know there are financial constraints, but I cannot imagine any of these guys giving NY anything close to what Mitch was doing.

I don’t know if there is a big man that can play elite defense in the post and high level defense on the perimeter like Mitch. He’s a unicorn but we are going to have to adjust with his pending departure.

It’s gonna be looney and huk. And it’ll suck, but it won’t suck too bad.

Mitch was playing less than 15 mpg in the playoffs. He didn’t play back to backs this year. The Knicks did everything possible to keep him healthy and he actually still almost screwed it up.

I love Mitch. I would love to keep him. You won’t replace him directly It’s also 12-15 minutes a night of asking guys to offensive rebound and play defense. The Knicks will be okay without Mitch.

Could they trade for Moussa Diabaté?

All of them are bums

Just run Hukporti as the backup until you can trade McBride for a center

[deleted]

We can send over Ayton lmao

They could have easily drafted his replacement but Dolan is cheap

Who is Goga? Literally never heard this name
